"The Orchestra of One" by Christie Gibson

The eternal beat of a steady drum
Keeping the lives around her in time
Even though they each play a different melody
The conductor of a quintet in which she also plays
The ultimate power of a gentle bass
With a repertoire that stretches for miles
Sometimes blunt as a trumpet
Other times cunning as a clarinet
But always comfortable as a violin in a lullaby
