The Jazz Player

My heart is a jazz beat

With a constant, familiar rhythm

That keeps me on pace every day

Steady and reassuring to guide me along

My mood is a jazz chord

Usually the major, happy and smiling

But sometimes a minor, sad and reflective

And some days diminished, just leaving me hanging

My mind is a jazz song

Never a repeat performance

A new experience every day

strengthened by constant improvisation

My soul is a jazz player

Strengthened by my heart

Inspired by my mood

Created in my mind
