A Romance Awaits...

You are entering a

Romance

In the coming pages,

A romance of

The spirit

Of the music

The cries and hopes

Of the people

Through the music

The love

Of the people through

The music,

The music from the

Southern delta

To the Northern

Stars

The Eastern sun

The Western horizon.

You will feel a

Romamnce, a meeting,

You will be

Wined and dined

And becom a lover

As we all are lovers

Of the music

Of the people's sounds

And sights

of lives coming

And going

Trains whistles

Airplan roars

Soft moons

Over rippling waters

Branches of leaves

Waving night bird calls

You will be a part of this romance

...a cadence, a rhythm,

Of romance

Listen to the rhythm

Of this jazz romance

Stephen A. Monroe

From "Tune Up"

Rejuvenation of a Beat
