Thunderstorm
Playing traditional Yidaki aka didgeridoo
Tongue, voice, and breath
Following the storm like a shadow
My body and spirit melting into it all

Soul
Heavy like stone
So fingers took a walk
Along these notes
Until they turned to feathers
So stone could fly
And opened an eye
Tenfold
#persiansetar #atx #Austin
Tilted the hourglass
These notes
Came out pouring
Flowing down the amazing curves
Like a caterpillar entering that house of music
To get drunk and wasted
Melting into an unexpected silence
To come out with butterfly wings
Fluttering to new colorful parties
To suck nectar
And get high

Eyes
Seen
Birds of all kinds
Paint the sky
With their feathers
Clouds that shaped dreams
With trippy colors of freedom
It all dances with our twirling planet
Lost somewhere in space
On a thin vulnerable line
All the piano keys
Take turns
#songsoffreedom #freedom #persiansetar #atx #freeiran
Setar strings
Like individual souls
Take turns sharing things
With or without goals
With the feathers of wings
They harmonize with or without poles
Whether the rhythm swings or dings
United hearts console
And the great spirit sings
