The Humble Giant

The Humble Giant /Dedicated to: Yusef Lateef

The snow flurried by with a message from the eternal wind
It was in trees and the leaves took note
A humble giant arose amidst a sea of sounds 
He journeyed on a single path thru the unknown
Blending elements of the world in his unique way
Collecting and reflecting each one in its own
Sounds of life…Sounds of color…Sounds of the body and soul
Blue expressions with impressions of the mystical…The spiritual
Always expanding beyond ones imagination
And leaving us with the wisdom that glimmered in his eyes 
The peace in his voice and the love that graced his lips
Brother Yusef Lateef rest in peace
