Subject to the Wind

Subject to the Wind

A Poem by JE Falcon
"

A song, I think.

"

There were visions in my head

of something new.

Something larger than myself,

that was true.

Then something smacked me in the face,

diverse,

like the human race.

Then I became a song

tinted blue.


So strong was the strumming of the base,

twanging on the heartstrings

just in case.

And the melody

bordered on Noir

like the sounds of a Gibson, 

stringed Guitar,

thumbing out the tunes 

in soulful space.


Then things changed

and the sound, it changed too.

But with life

change is what we do.

So I dawned some different hats

wiped my feet on other mats.

I was Cool,

just hang-in with my Crew.


In retrospect,

looking back was no mistake.

It was a vicious time

and things were not so Jake.

It was a time of aimless thought,

Cool Noir

or even not.

In a boat

without ores

on a lake.

Subject to the wind

For music's sake.

You are welcome my friend.
Yes my friend this has melody as I was reading it and would make a very good song in my opinion. happy or sad... it doesn't matter as we are carefree, free for the sake of our message... music. the;

"diverse,
like the human race.
Then I became a song,
tinted blue."

caught my attention to know how seriously the character of the poem takes music as his mission, You put me in the mood of a traveling band around all places singing to, about and for the other humans. wonderful write my friend.
