The Remaining Quartet

The strings mesh
Creating more than sound
Feeling.
She sits
Softly poised
The cello soothes her
With a low melodic tranquility.
Two, now three more join
Adding to the flow
The current
The family.
The lead drops out
The cello remains
Haunting she stays
Forcing the song to continue
Entranced by the deep melody
Incapable of abandoning
What she has now created.
Giving
Moving
Loving
The ever-resonating force,
My mother.
