Jazz
The Black and white keys
Play lovely sounds
Fast, slow, quiet, and loud
They play the melody
Sweet and proud
Percussive Delight
Smooth Songs of the Midnight
Fingers Moving Steadily
Along the Ebony, and Ivory
Stroking each staccato
Caressing the notes that come forth
Moaning and groaning
Feeling and knowing
Music brings healing
And new rhythms to my soul

Brass Sax blowing
Sounds keep growing
Tooting your horn
Weep you must mourn
Declaration of Power
And the coming of the final hour
Swaggering Tunes
Signal the coming of the moon
Blow it soft and hard
Play that stanky swanky part
Bring the Noise
Can’t be no lady, can’t keep the poise
Got to get up and dance
Give this Saxy music a chance
Music brings healing
And new rhythms to my soul

Drums wake the wind
Let you know the party’s bout to begin
Come on yall from miles around
Hear this funky clunky sound
Played with clasping symbols too
Beat the beat, its fast and new
Bing! Bang! Boom!
The groove fills the room
And the feets is tapping
Hands is clapping
Fingers Snapping
Heads is moving
Side to side
Taking me on a cosmic ride
Music brings healing
And new rhythms to my soul

I sing my song so soft and sweet
I’ll make you dance on out that seat
I’ll make you laugh and I‘ll make you cry.
Make you wanna give love a try.
I bebop and shooby dooby do wop
I shuck and jive my notes
Hum the chorus deep down in my throat
I sings for yall,
Jazzy tunes,
As secret lovers smile and swoon
Like butterflies emerging from their cocoons
My Magic Melody
I can wing it,
Turn around and fling it
In your face,
Euphoric taste.
Jazz all up in this place.
Music brings healing
And new rhythms to my soul.
