The musician sits in the chair, poised,

Sitting up straight, pressing lips softly

Against the smooth shaped mouth piece

Forming a sealed connection,

They are in union.

 Eyes closed and breath drawn in,

 Sacred spaces between two bodies are merged.

With the slow release of a boundless supply of air

Pushing into the tiny chambers of the flute

 the musician’s fingers

dance effortlessly across the top.

In the wake of this union,

 Heavenly music resonates

 reaching the hearts of everyone.

Without any discernment

The music transforms itself through listening ears

And the audience sits quietly entranced and focused;

They too are a vital part of this performance.

Sitting amongst the masses,

Floating high on a sea of consciousness,

Connected to the higher power in ways

the mind can’t even begin to comprehend.

Each heavenly breath drawn into the this bodily vessel with purpose;

Sacred spaces between two entities are merged.

Light pours into the being and overfills

The cosmic cup of the body.

Breathing out,

The light expands and pervades the heart of all

 Like the sun washing over the morning sky

Without any discernment,

Rays of serenity and cleansing

 Shower over the people.

Entranced and focused

They too are a vital part of this performance.
