Never

Never

It never entered
my mind: possibilities
are endless in life.

Inspired by Miles Davis playing, "It Never Entered My Mind".

Long ago

Long ago

If I think too long and hard
every little drip drop drip of
the rain against the window pane
echoes a heartbeat I felt not too
long ago.

reverse

reverse

if i had a choice
to reverse time or to stay here
i would be too scared to reverse time
because minds warp memories
and i want those to stay the same.

Energy

Energy

Energy flowing
up down around across all
angles of music.

My sketch of Vijay Iyer

Inspired by Vijay Iyer playing, "Break Stuff".

live

live

that brief moment between a song
ending and the audience clapping
that's where I want to live.

Calm

Calm

Calming eyes calming ties
calming washing over cries.

Inspired by Wayne Shorter playing, "Infant Eyes".

Those days

Those days

Those days where no plans existed
and the excitement of absolutely nothing
seemed to encapsulate everything
where loneliness felt free and wild
and the purity of it all was just there
just as everything was.

Inspired by Frank Sinatra singing, "The Days of Wine and Roses".
