I wish to stand
In front of an audience
Lights down low
Soft music playing
As I open my mouth
To let out the words
That burn in my soul
Beauty before unknown
Each word coming out
With pristine clarity
Emotions spilling out
Wild and uncontrolled
Releasing these feelings
That I no longer can hold
To inspire emotions within
The people who listen
To my words mixed in
With the sweet melody
Of the jazz band
Can you see it
Playing out and unfolding
Like a movie in your mind
As you read this poem
That will stand the test of time
