a soft piano as people find their place
a humming bassline of forward momentum
a steady rhythm, making room for expression
a well timed sax solo, breathing with passion
a drum fill, surprise, just enough
your quiet lulls, your frantic crescendos
resilient, resourceful
making it up as you go along
a wandering form
punctuated by expressive joy
and mournful sorrow
slightly askew,
tender in your imperfections
but altogether soft
you are the spirit of jazz
unrepeatable & alive
