Blues Up Stairs

Are we not all
standing in line
at heaven’s door?
Waiting,
watching,
wondering
who’s number
will be next.

Many are called
when they are ready,
most are not.
But, all are called before
others are ready
to pass through the door
to the big house of blues
that’s always rocking.

The house of the blues
where the music
goes on and on
at the house
with no last time around.
Charlie Parker,
your music
and images will remain.

Even as we
all wait to hear
our number called
to enter the ever-rocking
house of the blues,
the music goes on.
Until them,
we will miss you.

  1. Kenne,
    Great tribute. Your photo of T99,AJ & Charlie looks like the
    “Heavenly Brothers Trio”. I’m sure thier voices will help keep the sky blue.
