A Jazz Club

Soft intonations

Filled the bar soaked room

Seeking affirmations

Not a moment too soon

Calling out loving sounds

That did not sound like love

Lifting spirits

Guided from above

Gentle whispers

Over well tended drinks

Voices differ

About what people think

Jazz like sounds

Seeking to explore

Mind wide open

Stepping through the door

It was only a moment

Then it was gone

The words carried

Weight from then on

Momentum building

From that one piece

It was something

No one could ever believe
