My Dad w/my son Christopher
My Brother, Dan
Voices
Loved, idealized voices
of those who have died, or of those
lost for us like the dead.
Sometimes they speak to us in dreams;
sometimes deep in thought the mind hears them.
And, with their sound, for a moment return
sounds from our life's first poetry--
like distance music fading away at night.
C.P. Cavafy
(Greek poet 1863-1933)
