important moments: broken rhythms

it was silent today.

where's my blues?
the swing that keeps me groovin'
beat it! paradiddle doodle dadadididum
not too fast, not too slow
steady like a metronome
tick tock tick tock you'll be on time

where's my jazz?
the ooh ah sexy solos
chillin' through the heat of it all
easy going on that which is complicated

i could hear a thread fall today
there was no music
..in me

in the deepest darkest hours i had today
thank you for being my guiding light
and filling in those missing notes.
