feeling all that Jazz . . .

feeling all that Jazz . . .

i felt like some Music

not quite knowing what my Soul was asking for

i pondered

you see, it is through Music

that my Soul comes to a certain ease

and is pleased to dance upon the tonal essence

of creativity

which has emanated from Soul

funny thing about Music

Music is a language

that opens the eye

that affirms that Soul is Soul

no matter the temporal divisions of man

i thought perhaps i’d listen to some Classical

that i may remember

that life time many centuries ago

when that was my flow

or perhaps some Rock or Country

maybe some R & B

so i could feel the me of this age

but i wanted to transcend these limitations

of evaluations

and the summations of definition

and then

my Soul spoke

and said

put on some Jazz

and though some Clerics

would have some issues with the lyrics

i care not

for let us not forget their purpose here

is to exploit our fear

and me,

i want to explore

where our head is

and how much more i can be

exponentially speaking

needless to say

the journey this day

is about me finding me

the undefining of me

and freely i dance

in the garden of contemplation

feeling all that Jazz . . .
