Jazz As It Rains

Jazz as it rains

Raindrops race down my window pane
in ¾th time
and the mind can't help but wonder
how everything is connected

Jazz as it rains

Davis seems to do all kinds of things
with that crazy horn of his
seemingly without rhyme or reason
but it all comes together
so that my finger tips
never stop knocking on the wood
so that my toes
never stop tapping the floor
so that the melodies always leave my soul
thristing for more.

Jazz as it rains

Making sounds
mother earth is
making sounds
lightning's snare
to every downbeat of the hand drum.

Jazz as it rains

None of God's notes are ever
the same
like a flute player
here comes the wind blowin'
Uuuummm
here comes the wind blowin'
whistlin' through the trees.

Jazz as it rains

While lovers look out
hearts triggered by
pulsating bass lines
and gliding skin along piano keys
inspiration to look deeper
into each others eyes.

Jazz as it rains

This is when blind men
see again
sounds waves coming at them
in colors
those with perfect vision
can only imagine.

Jazz as it rains

As the sun runs away
a Divines majestic symphony
creates an ending to a
perfect day.
