Her Cello

Raven's Cello

We've never had such beautiful music in our house till now.

A young woman with musical presence comes for a visit
with her cello, one winter eve when light changes to shadow.

Once seated, her head arches over the cello, her hair falls,
as if whispering to the strings. Her bow sweeps across the cello.
Driving away night's ghostly chill with warmth and clarity.

She plunges to the depth of sorrow in the hollow of her cello.
Her music, stretches beyond the grasp of grief and despair,
Distilling sadness into order and beauty.

Pouring out white light into the darkness of the night.
The soft petals of her music shine shadow upon shadow.

We've never had such beautiful music in our house till now.
