Performance Art For Jack Layton

Music inspires our souls
to seek perfection
in a world wide web of notes.

Chords bring harmony
to those whose hearts
are open to the unusual.

Prejudice and despair
have no place
in the concert of light.

We dance in tandem
with the outer world
awaiting our turn at the song wheel.

For one who sang so well
there should be no lasting tears
only the harmonious sound
of his amazing performance.
