A LOVE SUPREME BY JOHN COLTRANE
Just listen as you picture
all these pictures below
A LOVE
SUPREME
A lone wolf lopes across
a snow covered mountain field ….
A big bear stands in a cold stream laughing
at how many salmon he’s catching ….
A pink flamingo stands there in pain
not knowing knee
surgery would really help ….
A mosquito hovers above a prom dance
deciding which one of those bare shoulders ….
A young boy skims and slides 77 flat
stones across a still sitting mountain lake ….
A pigeon just loves, loves, potato chips, just dropped there on the playground macadam….
The ocean waves keep coming, wave after
wave, heading towards the tan sandy beach….
A brown dog with hair flowing - front seat -
no seat belt - head out the open window ….
The baby keeps looking over her dad’s
shoulder at everyone else in the church ….
The guy on the motorcycle roars 99 MPH
across the desert road - his face loving it ….
The giraffe at 7 AM going by a basketball
court and a kid practicing wishes, wishes ….
A third grader coming out of a library with
17 books and almost drops the whole load ….
A saxophone player with eyes closed - with
great gladness plays to our God, A Love Supreme ….
