There is nothing to fear but fear itself.- Franklin D. Roosevelt


The Trumpet
by his side
eyes closed






yet open wide
ready
to
go
for the
way that he carried
himself is
the way he
plays
the way he
is heard,
commanding.
like a ship at sea
his presence
is known but not required
yet he knows
he needs
to be there.

I was watching a jazz combo perform and this was my observation of a trumpet player waiting to join back in for the melody after his fellow musicians solo was over
