tonight

tonight has been a wonderful example of
what happens when you live the passion that I do.

it’s not a mountain to climb.
I’m not outfitted with the right gear.

but when fear strikes a chord
and when my writing becomes the only way
I can feel at least like I’m in control
I’m content I have at least a minor escape.

thank you, friends of the music world, for giving me
the small melodies I know so well
(and yet, really, couldn’t name note for note)
that guide me so wonderfully
like a compass.

thank you.
