This Instrument (In An Orchestrated Life) Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

This instrument,
I've been blessed with a given...
I know each day to play it better,
Than ever...
Because it's life to be played everyday.

This 'my' instrument,
I've been blessed with a given...
To be lived.
Must be played,
Within the orchestration 'heard'...
And everywhere one goes to be on display.

Wish I do to play duets,
Under Moon lit skies...
Whenever I'm greeted,
To harmonize.

This instrument,
I've been blessed with a given...
I know each day to play it better,
Than ever...
Because it's life to be played everyday.

Wish I do to fill a room,
With sounds that are respected.
And wish I do to take away,
Those lost rhythms people can't keep...
On my beat and with some rhythm.

This instrument,
I've been blessed with a given...
I know each day to play it better,
Than ever...
Because it's life to be played everyday.

This life I'm given is the instrument!
And I wish to get better.
Wish I do to play duets,
Under Moon lit skies...
Whenever I'm greeted,
To be harmonized.
With...
This instrument,
And orchestrated to give it benefit.
With...
This instrument,
Orchestrated with a giving benefit.

This life I'm given is the instrument!
And I wish to get better.

I am this instrument,
Orchestrated heard giving benefit.
And with...
This instrument,
I have intention to play...
Everyday...
Much better!

My mind, body and soul...
In an orchestrated life,
Is my instrument.

My mind, body and soul...
Is my instrument to remain composed.
My mind, body and soul...
Is my instrument to behold.
My mind, body and soul...
In an orchestrated life,
Is my instrument.
