Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness. - Maya Angelou

Cello Heavenly music Amazing Montage Mosaic by Paul Van Scott

If I could be a musical instrument, I would be the cello.

Its voice is strong.

Its heart deep.

Slow to anger.

Understanding.

Meandering.

A steady, compassionate, back and forth enabler.

It's sad but feeling.

Like rain and tears.

And dreamy, drawn-out, spirit-filled years.

Saying it's OK to cry.

Even if you don't know why.

Always upright.

Standing on its own whilst leaning in.

It's great unaccompanied but also fits in.

With its bow drawn 'cross emotive strings.

Through everything.

Its stature larger than life.

Calming and soothing.

Comforting and crooning.

Proclaiming victory.

Never contradictory.

With a strong bass and caring foundation.

Always the soul of the song.

Never going wrong ...
