The Four Musicians - an early piece

The Four Musicians

 

The four Musicians began to play;

One by one, they began to weave the notes.

 

Arcane music vibrated against the walls.

Wave by wave, it grew into power;

Power the body could absorb,

Forced its way through protected inhibitions.

The mused music breached the innermost cells

With its hypnotic guile;

It fed onto the hidden, secreted prenatal beat. 

The spell was cunning,

Masterly conjured;

Their hands bent the air to their control.

A modern mysticism with medieval sorcerers;

A medieval mysticism with modern spells.
