The long slow notes of the cello
Draw me into the mind of the composer,
My soul relaxes and I am drawn
Into world of peace and harmony.
A viola sings a song of contentment
Flying above the cellos,
In a melody of sublime music
Each complementing each other.
The low sound of the music
Rising into a dawn on the horizon
As the violin sails above all,
Like the sun bringing the day
Sailing high in the ether.
I am rising with this day
As the music brings light,
Brings light into my life,
With calm and harmony
Created by the beauty of the sound
As My Spirit rises into the wonder,
The wonder of this music.

- Comment from author about the poem: I have recently found a new composer called Max Richter, and yesterday morning I was listening to the radio, as I always do in the morning, and the piece of music called "On the Nature of Daylight" composed by him was played and it inspired me to write these words.

A fine write and music G/F.
Thanks Orchi.
Sounds a lovely experience GF. Enjoy the Wonder.
Thank you Frank, I am always surprised by music. I have been listening to classical music and jazz for over sixty years and always come to the conclusion that the more I get to know about music the more ignorant about it the more ignorant I realise I am.
Music and poetry both alike in ways . Music sways the minds ear while poetry puts the emotions in motion .
Very true, they seem to enhance each other.
I love the picture and the sounds you have created on paper. Nice.
Thank you Augustus, much appreciated.
I share your love of this type of music, Goldfinch. The strings in particular. A violin can enchant me, and a cello can break my heart.
Thank you for sharing the music and your lovely poem! I will be publishing a poem of my own today about music. Be well.
Thank you Louis, music is so wonderful in my life.
A new work to me and your words complement it so well.
It was new to me as well Michael, I only found this composer about 4 weeks ago.
Written by a man who truly loves music!
Thank you so much WBL. You are so right.
Really lovely GF60
Thank you PH much appreciated.
THANKS ANDY ~ for sharing such a symbiotic gem ~ aurally and verbally. Richer is a fine composer and his music is Divine. For me String Quartets are the most Heavenly form of music ~ each instrument complementing the other three. Another example where the whole is much greater than the mere sum of parts ! I have an older Lady Friend who is a cellist and when she plays for me it lifts me up to Heaven. The body of the cello has the same dimensions as an adult human which is why cello music is so sensuous ! Yours BRIANi
Thanks Brian. I too like string quartets and I have very many of them.
