Poetry Assignment by the Docks

Listening to The Piano Guys in My Car

As if by maestro’s cue,
five black ducks dove
bold into the current
as Beethoven’s
Five Secrets
took off in flight,
its eddies of sound
mirrored in the
rain-raged waters,
music and
a murmuring
of shore birds
swirled around
the sun’s
reflection,
carried with them
their quiet riddles
in ripples
and whorls,
while the familiar
and foreign
danced in the Sound
of shimmering secrets.
