I can't begin to imagine/
what would happen
if music wasn't apart of my life/
the notes
make the melodies/
the melodies...
serve as backgrounds
for the non-fiction stories
that make up
the soundtrack of my life/
while my affair with this thing,
may be just a fling for you/
this beauty is needed in order
for me
to function properly/
it brings me closer to GOD/
releases my frustrations/
fills me with hope/
removes temptations/
encourages me to
reach for the
stars
and be
where the rest of my people are/
the greatness
that makes
up this melanin of mine
transcends space and time/
the freedom riders/revolution inspirers/the ministers of sound who have left an aural legacy/
Ella, Miles, James Yancey,Lou Rawls, Luther Vandross, Ruth Brown, James Brown, Gerald LeVert
and many more
remind
me/
that there is supreme truth and unconditional love in store
if I... diligently apply my foundation with the tools I am given/with every listen of every lyric,
I am reminded that I am
my first lover
and my second (music)
is my redeemer/
clothing
for the dreamer/protection for this believer/
this love
I have
is encoded
into all that I touch/
now if only
I could meet
someone
that could/would/will
love
me
just as much
as I
love
