Neurons
Instruments tuned, all are ready
with ears and eyes, hands and hearts,
each member a talent, an outcome of
tutelage, devotion, diligence,
receptors of teachers' care and wisdom,
all gathered in one place to create
the orchestra,
destination of a journey
through centuries'
advance in music's language,
refinement in the science
of strings, of wind,
percussion,
all assembled in this one place
in unity and agreement
bonding with colleagues and conductor
to re-create the sounds that fire and inspire.
In their midst,
is there something in the air
that all outpouring
of mind and emotion,
deftness and dexterity
through neural activity,
fields of electricity
swarming and circulating on the stage
in whirling connectivity,
a sphere that only exists
amongst that special community?
