Each note a Hippocratic oath
to a hypothetical melody
alive
medicine to heal
time signatures capture
every precious phrase
the right
and
the rapture
music
as it was intended
rhythm full of response
cradle to grave
nothing like ever before
forged with honesty
sealed with faith
ever more
rise to the surface
inspired
exact
forgiving as required
jazz
Kind of Blue
resonates
sixty years
give or take
Miles
bending air
breathing life
little more needs to be said
but it must
the times we live
the love we make
what matters most
half notes full of soul
simply
complicated
pure expression
passion greater than romance
more finite than death
1959
before this
cool was only a temperature
