Thirty-five has all the joy he needs,
Having memorized the sacred score.
Infinite beauty rests within his
hands,
Rising from a sea of music stands,
The sound mere presence to the silent
core,
Yet far from the rendition that he
reads.
For now, the
faint allusion that he leads
Intensifies his avarice for more,
Visioning the glory he demands
Even though but life can lie in
store.
