Pictures at an Exhibition

i saw the pictures at an exhibition: 
no price was charged 
or admission ticket required
no stub 
or membership rules posted! 
i felt a moving mystery. 
it gathered all the straining ear
along a horned path 
with strings 
and played the famous Mussorgsky song in four parts 
an ethereal alien air grew louder 
but then soft; 
a tidal sweeping water spray of sound
& a flair for the flamboyant 
the kettle drum and french horn 
keys with flute attached 
the trombone blast and some elfish piccolos 
a large section of bass 
incessant rock knock and pound 
The Kingdom of finest woven lace weaving notes
of orchestral tempest 
escaping notes 
fleeing from excellent instruments 
& fingers of humankind grandly being toyed.
