Exquisitely beautiful.  I really like the way the "rowboat / bumps the plank."   Eyes meet but the "distant sides of the lake...can never touch."

A great Monk tune written in 1953 and played here on a 1955 Gibson ES175

Pussy Cat Dues

Innuendo

Lagrima

Hallelujah

Inspired and dedicated to the life of Beatle George Harrison, including a sweet slide guitar solo in his style. The song talks about what George was really trying to learn and understand all along - the meaning of love.

The Big Picture

It's Time We Learn About Love

Tone Poems are poetry/music pieces where words and original music work together as equals. This one explores how a long relationship of love is like a spiritual practice, a challenge to live in true care and compassion with those to whom we are closest.

Wędrowiec

Sometimes our eyes meet
like distant sides of a lake
that can never touch.

There is an empty boat nestled
in the weeds, drifted to shore.
I take it and go looking for you.

With each bargain struck,
we learn more about
the stranger who sits between us.

I find you on a sun-bleached dock.
When I reach you the rowboat
bumps the planks and the wooden

sound raises your eyes to mine.
Bluegills scatter  
in the sun-drenched water.
