The choir sits as one
Under direction
Stands as one
Under direction
And works as one
To bring about
A unity, a harmony, a singularity
Of sound, tone and rhythm
To create music that is
Pleasing and focused.
But of all these, I listen for
The intake of breath from the
Mouths and lungs
Gathered around me
Before the sound,
And I know this:
The time to sing
Has come.
