A Man And His Music ~ A Dedication To Joe Poem by Sara Turner

The lights flash across the stage
And from the left he enters and waves
The crowd stands and screams his name
He nods his head and a smile touches his lips

He turns to the band and gives the sign
The music starts and he comes alive
His fingers fly up the neck of his guitar
And you can tell he is home

Moving to the mic, he looks down at the floor
He closes his eyes and from deep within
Comes the voice we've all been waiting for
The music has begun

Mesmerized we begin to sway
Our attention never waivering
Minds attuned to the story his baritone weaves
And captured by the wonder it instills

As you watch him closely you understand
This man gives his music a part of his soul
He's as real as the sunshine on the lake
And inside, he's as beautiful as the dawn.
