Instruments Of Living

Tending to instruments of living, listening to rhythms I continue playing on my clarinet, guitar, violin, piano, all bringing joy to my soul. Self-taught on every instrument, preferring not to play the tuba though, striking a match in the darkness, follow- ed by rhythms taking me into a blaze of fire. There I watch fascinated, curious to see what's going to appear so it can be written into musical compositions and poetry. Sometimes writing lyrics for music, listening to another sing it to see whether or not this mind and intellect like their tones and sounds of music and lyrics together.
