Two pianos, a marimba and a flute

Fit for a king and queen wearing their finest
robes and jewels, jesters fallen silent in rapt attention,
two pianos, a marimba and a flute played for us,
mere mortals in auditorium seating, we wonder how
we deserve this lifting of spirit after a day of work,
our jeans may have stains on them, T-shirts should
be blouses and our hair should be done, not tired and
dirty, listening to such fine music honed over hundreds
of hours, what did we do to deserve this myriad
of sounds and emotions, nothing except to be there,
to walk away from everything else and just be there.
