The Light Fantastic

The Cello

 

The cello

etches its molten music

into the psyche

 

steals the soul

an aural apparition

passing through locked doors

 

string breezes

sing, burgeoning from chaos

resonance beckons

 

harmony

conjures vision timeless as

future memory

 

subsumed joy

Theia with shadows dancing

the light fantastic

 

cello truth

is baritone, the plumbed stave

sounds close melody
