There was a flute <br />But <br />High up in the skies <br />The heavens <br />Resound it <br />In the cold desert <br />Stretching <br />Stretching <br />With distant snow-capped <br />Mountains: <br />The desert stretched <br />Blue and mysterious <br />And <br />Flared the musicians <br />Airy <br />And lithe <br />In the wild desert <br />In the air <br />The heavens <br />And then <br />Then <br />Lights went up <br />And down <br />Flickered <br />And the desert <br />Was as a desert of <br />A million flutes <br />And more <br />All playing <br />Playing simultaneously. <br />Playing.<br /><br />Emmanuel George Cefai<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/there-was-a-flute/
