heard your voice

like the brass section that was roaring

from the upside and downside of the back

in the club something about your tone

rang loudest in my ear and you had a brisk

but soft middle tone that reached back

and lead me toward you

when i entered the area i was amazed

at the purity of your soul and ability to relate

so well and strongly

but the counter of numbers made me count back to

far less stressful times and what mattered

now i jump back and forth and still

can't delay

as a rhythm comes within my soul
