Jazz Thought Buddha Mind
In the breath of seconds, where Coltrane's music in silence meets sound/
Sonny Rollins ' Buddha thought Jazz flows like a river, unbound and profound/
Improv, give the drummer some Mike Clark's sacred dance beat on the edge of now/
echoes the Buddha’s truth—how to be, how and now simply/
Herbie’s keys whisper secrets of the eternal present, while Coltrane’s horn soul soars—love supreme, transcendent/
Wayne’s Emanon, a mantra of self and beyond, journeying into Nichiren's Buddhist sacred pond/
Meditation’s stillness is a fertile ground to ignite the jazz flight/ Notes bloom like lotuses in the quiet of the night/
Both paths converge—music and mind—one breath, unfolding the cosmos, escaping death/
In the stillness of the moment, the universe reveals its face. No need for judgment, just pure grace. Jazz and Buddhism, a union of the free,
Beyond consciousness to a Buddha's enlightenment/
Sitting under the Bodhi Tree/
Straight ahead into the real/
A free jazz collective to attachment and non-attachment to the jazz note you just played/
Take your giant steps on the stage of thought/
Let your music take action as a serenade to what is now/
But after leaving no trace of self and no shadow of the jazz notes you just played/
