Alex Shapiro shared 1:59 of her Jazz melody, Longing For You on her blog site. It is mellow, and sad, and makes when feel the wind off the water, as she gazes north across imaginary borders to the islands of British Columbia. So this little ditty, just some morning treacle, emerged from my listen to her composition.
Longing for You
When we are
apart,
you still reside
deep
within my heart.
So how does one
describe
how much
I miss your
touch,
your smile,
that will always
beguile
and charm me
out of a funk;
transform a fugue
to a jazz trio;
turn melancholy
to just
mellow;
turn my gaze
toward the bright horizon
where gray water meets
gray clouds,
as I send out, and
project my message
in heartspeak,
sans bottle?
