Another influential musician
Has died
There should be sadness
At the passing
Of another human life
But what’s left behind?
Music
Whether it’s the music of
John Lennon
Jimi Hendrix
Kurt Cobain
Now, Chris Cornell
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Howlin’ Wolf
Muddy Waters
B.B. King
Or hundreds of others
Music can touch humans deeply
And despite the different ways
It can affect people
Music provides such
A passionate connection
Among those who live for it
Music excites
It warms
It moves
It connects
One heck of a gift
To leave behind
