Swelling cello, coquettish strings.
Silencing birds who are want to sing.
The wind stirs leaves to polite applause.
We choose to linger here.
Viola and violins flit and weave.
A mosquito buzzes as he would please,
Licking "Off" by degree.
as another movement proceeds.
Spindly trees stand round a
Table meant for Robert Starer,
Composer from 1924 Vienna
Who left the earth near Woodstock in 2001.
Robert's stone table and a summer breeze!
Cool any ire as
coughers cough and sneezers sneeze.
Sun dapples our carpet green.
Sun on your table, on nearby fallen trees.
Herr Maverick, thank you for
moments like these.
A bell rings to end the program’s break.
Chatty Boomers age gracefully
as Schubert commands violin and viola,
as the cello agrees.
The brow of Maverick arches
with its diamond window panes.
I heard they glow at night.
No mere barn could cast such light.
These woods befit a Viennese canter.
Hollywood Bowl musicians stir all souls.
Ghosts banter.
