The Cook in His Kitchen
A crescendo of motives,
a glorious cacophony of mixtures,
destined, star-crossed,
even before the end is known.
The low drums make the base,
accompanied by the hearty piano,
the notes determining the rhythm,
beginning the beginning.
The strings come next,
blending it all together,
the cellos and violins
working in harmony.
Trumpets and horns grace the air,
their rich tones a bold seasoning
to the growing flavor,
reveling in further abundance.
The flutes whisper in next,
adding the final ingredient
carefully mixed in
by the ageless conductor.
The finale, here it comes,
the anticipation thick enough to eat
as all around reaches peak
in their first, marvelous debut.
