About Joshua


he is the center
of a storm
whose tempest whirls
rampant
on the wings of morning,
in the twilight
of cerulean blue,
into the mauve
of sunset's dewy blush
upon golden fields
of golden wheat,
golden gentility,
and olden rarities;
golden memory


he is the epitome of lyrical romance;
whose phrases flow
rampant
on the very breathe of Lady Breeze,
in the very hair
of her antiqued peace,
into the den
of tantric jam sessions
upon ol' melancholy cadenzas
of ol' melancholy sloes,
tall blues notes
and tall horn blows;
ol' melancholy soul


he is the stormy lyricist
whose romance flows
rampant
from his bosom,
reminiscent of Coltrane -
call him Joshua
call him Joshua
