there is such a fine line

or hardly even

a line at all

between loving you 

and being in love. 

does one simply 

hold back?

how do you train a heart,

to love like it is told,

and real feelings withhold. 

Why must people 

feel so inclined

to label love. 

Love is a feeling,

not an object.

Love is patient,

love is power,

but love 

should not have rules,

restrictions,

or requirements. 

My love is free,

so accept it. 

My life is a Jazz Band,

It is made up of many separate entities,

that when put together

they make magic.

when piece by piece

they are taken apart

they are the same group 

but alone. 

The goal is to continue building,

because your band 

is yours to shape.

The Magic is uniquely your own,

to add your ups and downs

your lefts and rights

the incidental pause that leaves life wondering.

These instruments

They are weathered

With dents

Scratches

And imperfections

But that does not make them useless.

They tell stories,

Speak experience

And show the world

A uniqueness

unlike any other.

Your jazz band

Is no one else’s

but your own.

So prepare to play,

because the world is listening. 

Remember that time,

that we had no plan,

and we went to that place,

to do those things,

with those people we knew nothing about.

yeah,

that was an adventure. 

An adventure

is not strickly physical,

but built

of emotion

of vibrations

of universal feeling. 

The kind that tickle your insides,

that give you bumps all down your arms.

They lead you to understand

and know

yourself and others. 

take some time

and explore

your mind. 

have become my inspiration. 

the memories

the motion

the days and nights

the ones that never ended

that will never be forgot.

You have done that for me. 

Thank you. 

What is new

quickly becomes old,

but that does not mean that it is forgotten. 

We live

day by day

not to go through the motions

but to remember the sweet embrace

of a breath of fresh air

of the rays of sunshine coming from the sky

or of the cool, crisp morning.

Find joy and comfort in that which took place,

not what never was or never will

because that is a life full of regret 

and one should never regret

how life made them feel.
