Give me a line
and I’ll take your heart
Talk to me in music
and we shine
Call and I respond
I am fully, utterly alive
first waiting for you,
now jumping the beat
drumming with hands and feet
Smelling the changes
as the music rings
in all my senses . . .
Flowers change color
behind closed eyes
with the chords
Sounds we cannot
make alone
Tasting the final result,
full-bodied and rich -
a fine vintage,
let’s bottle it!
