MAHLER'S LEGACY

Look over the orchestra
and be amazed to follow
the fragmented notes
of the Resurrection Symphony
written across
the once prayed up saints
in a Germany
of Mahler's family
soon to be terrorized ,afraid
and doomed
yet these faint notes
in the harmony, light
from tubular bells
of once muscular sounds
are now but faint shadows
of a tragic history.
