High notes ring softly
In a repetitive rhythm
Encouraging the bass to bellow.
Together they play
In perfect harmony
In perfect cacophony
A welcoming sound
I’ve known for years.
The dependent treble falters…
Then frenzies until it unexpectedly ceases-
An angelic absence
Leaving the bass notes to calmly tremble,
A deep
Resounding
Heartbeat.
A familiar song
I’ll never forget.
For my Grandmother,
You’ll always be in our hearts
