Saint John

From High Point, he hailed
With his instrument, he had a certain
story to tell

Many pundits call him insane
But for those who know simply call
him Trane

His claim to fame was riding the galactic
ship of jazz
Pushing the status quo and exploring with
a whole lot of pizazz

But his earnest desire was to get to know a Love Supreme
Through Acknowledgement, Resolution, Pursuance, and
Psalms his soul was able to gleam

Saint John, a quiet storm that blew with a serene
veracity
With Giant Steps he walked through the world of jazz with a divine tenacity
