*For David Young








blues of deep indigo

splash like waters on the skin

can't you feel em' ?

soft and exciting

stimulating

cool as light blues and grays

can't you feel em'

refreshing...

then you walk upright

you feel alright

midnight blue like black clears slate

and imagine life

i know it be good sum times

i knowed it be good so good sum times

slow like oatmeal thick

the ground opens up to you

so easy to do what you not suppose to

(but it be hard too)

cause you promised God you wouldn't no more

you promised God you wouldn't know moreyoupromisedGodyouwouldn'tknowmore

have you noticed that sitting in darkness makes you smaller?

can't you feel it?

covered in darkness makes you smaller....

oh that is six feet, four legged thinking i must remember

got to work harded cause of one wing, not racial tendency

casue it do be sweet sumtimes

the sweetest sumtimes

i flew cross silver and it never felt so good

knew next time sky rained silver

i would cry so good

made love to light shows

and trees growing

and flowers growing

and God anything growing naturally is good to me

it feels good sumtimes just to see (not everybody can you know, not everybody will you know)

it feels good sumtimes to breathe...

sum times i just got to rest my wing

air get too thin up there

and the blues get the best of me

Cool flight of rhythmic thinking: being a jazz musician I'm glad I found you (I'm pretty new here at AD) I seem to have avoided the internet for years (I guess those fears) Well, I'll spend some time on your music Speaking of Maya A., just a few weeks ago I took out her 1991 book from my Library (forgot the name for now) And did I enjoy her mastery and music! So refreshing from my overly grammatical, long-winded style! But then I'm an instrumentalist. I'll be back to your site...

Mitzi,

This speaks to me winged one. You have great depth of soul (not meaning black soul) but deep down soul knowing you are eternal lets you soar even higher where soul meets soul. Nice to meet and greet you dear. Keep on writing

David must be eternally linked to you.

Love & Blessings
