At An Orchestral Concert Poem by Ananta Madhavan

At An Orchestral Concert



The Conductor, whose baton is silent,
Whose gestures are a kind of mime,
Elicits organized sound, as if
He is himself playing an instrument
Of many tones, timbres and octaves.

One can imagine how,
Even without the orchestra,
An impassioned musician
Can hear the symphony unheard.
The baton then becomes a magic wand
Pouring out the sequent sound for us.

Divinity is music if we learn to listen.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I try to listen to classical music, not just hear it as a background
or a melodic label for a brand or a product.
