SATYAGRAHA (truth force)

You found it Trane.
Satyagraha shone through
every note you played.

Born black and beautiful,
emancipated through jazz,
you died much too young.

But your music lives,
and decades on aficionados
will say, 'that's John Coltrane!'

The sweetness of Coltrane's tenor sax can never be mimicked (though many try). The depth of his musicianship is incalculable. Your tribute is eloquent and heartfelt. Satyagraha indeed. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
