Mood Indigo – v2 - repost

Ancient Jazz incarnate
rising from his seat
clarinet in hand
sharing a prayer with us
 
Slowly, oh so slowly,
melting into the notes, the lyrics
another place and time
the song, Mood Indigo
 
Ancient growl of the tune
rhythm, melody
whine of his clarinet
drawing us all in to
the Mood Indigo

The members of Los Lobos were near me, watching as I was.
