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 distant music fading away at night.
C. P. Cavafy
