Jammin’

GGBOS06-RM

Don’t be afraid 

Just let go 

Take a deep breath 

and look into 

each other’s eyes 

Friend and peer 

Equals 

Tuck your fiddles 

and raise your bows 

ready to share 

music: 

conversation 

without words 

 

Enter the sound 

Let its will 

guide yours 

Swing on 

the groove 

Hand it 

back and forth 

Magic carpet ride 

Roller coaster tune 

A journey round your ears 

and every so often, 

your eyes – softly shut 

to better hear the music 

in your head – 

open wide, and you catch a 

through-the-looking-glass glimpse 

of another soul
