The turntable dusted
Magic begins it’s weave
Black vinyl drawn
From its protective sleeve

Eyes closed remembering
Swaying to her voice
Quiet passion builds
There is no other choice

Shivers given soulfully
Short breaths bind
Lips joined in communion
In a ‘Nina Simone’ state of mind

Like a voice from a dimension where only the listener is welcome.

Great piece.  Thanks for sharing it.
