Thinking About Music

To think about music is not to feel art, One who's conscious of self still is playing a part, And if you play a role, then the music can't sing, But surrender of self? Suggests music is King! Stage fright is not possible in ARTIST'S brain, And each thought of appearance a focus on gain, It's the Master; you're servant, humility's guest, It's the wine, and you're flagon (that's how man is blessed)! So offer yourself up whenever you can, And don't turn service down because you've scheduled tan, If you hear Spirit call, say "I'm here Lord! Send me!" For, in fact, serving Art is the path of the free! Long Tooth January 23, 2018
