Remember Coltrane
The first “ love supreme”
It was the first time I listened
Life changed that Sunday in November
I learned about love and second chances
Spiritual awakenings and sacrifice
The gift of life, after the loss of death
“Boom da boom, boom da boom”
“A love supreme, a love supreme“
Showed me spirituality without the constraints of religion
The sound of discipline, and the melody of timelessness
Resurrection of the spirit and overcoming adversities
A love letter telling me it’s okay to grow up, and grow old
Fearing neither life nor death, because it’s all apart of the same.
This is my acknowledgement.

This song will forever hold a special place in my heart. I remember playing it back and forth from a greatest hits cassette my Father had in his collection. At that time I had no idea what sensuality or seduction really was, but I knew that the prelude to a kiss was a magical moment. The stare, the anticipation, the need to fall deep and never looking back. A kiss will never be just a kiss and much still remains for me. Happy Birthday and thank you Mr. Edward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington.
