Intonations
With vigorous vibrato ridding silence from this final act:
one hundred thunderous vocal cords lyrically entwine the air
their unfamiliar syllables orchestrating soul of song
which beckons us beyond a word
- but listen, if you will have heard
reverberating undefined what liberated instincts find
once music looses need to know
emotions, freed to flow, bestow
profounder meanings through these arts
past pageantries of well-played parts
above such stately harmony
as truths intone eternally:
the operas of reality.
