The Rich Deep Tones of A Cello
by Carmen H Gray
I’ve heard it in my dreams
As if he called to me
His voice in that same living tone
Of her beloved instrument
The sound waves echoing from our distant past
An expanding ripple of spheres
That reach across time
Pausing to recapture
The rich, deep tones of a cello
That hold so many memories
She ordered resin today
The parentheses have had their moment
I feel the exhaling of one hundred breaths
