The Cellist



He waves the bow ever so lightly,
a wand, wielding the magic of music
as it arcs into auditorium air,
a white dove soaring into darkness.
His soul, alight with the knowledge
of God transmuted into bars and
notes, he imagines and then plays
Vivaldi, Haydn, Bach and Saint Saens,
Dvorak, Beethoven, Brahms and Debussy,
Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Beatles and E.L.O.,
Aerosmith, Cream and Smashing Pumpkins,
classical jazz rock bluegrass folk it pours from
his soul, alight with the knowledge
of God transmuted into bars and
notes.
