The long slow sound of a cello <br />The slow long draw of the bow <br />softly and long in the morning <br />the melody long and slow <br /> <br />Awake in the early morning <br />instruments all 'round your bed <br />A base and an oboe and cello <br />the music is inside your head <br /> <br />The strings and the woodwind <br />Together. Now just the oboes alone <br />So soft and so long in the morning <br />the melody long and slow <br /> <br />Drifting along with the music <br />neither awake nor asleep <br />A base and an oboe and cello <br />Sheet music all over the sheet <br /> <br />Saxophones move to the centre <br />An alto sax presumes to lead <br />Clarinets enter from nowhere <br />Clarinets always succeed <br /> <br />Drifting away now on grace notes <br />Oboes masquerading as trees <br />Harmonies high on a hillside <br />music conducting the breeze <br /> <br />Moments and minutes are muffled <br />Whiteouts among the daydreams <br />A semibreve rest on a high note <br />blissfully followed by these.. <br /> <br />The long slow sounds of a cello <br />the slow long draw on the bow <br />softly and long in the morning <br />the melody long and slow<br /><br />Sean Joyce<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cellos-in-the-morning/
