Ode To John Mclaughlin Poem by Jeffrey Philip Clegg

Miles beyond,
On a
Cool train to
Eternity -

You know there is a
Meeting of the spirits
In the noonward race
Toward dawn.

The awakening of a
Lotus on Irish streams,
Carrying a
Vital transformation
To the dance of Maya.

The devotion and surrender of
A love supreme.
A meditation of
The life divine.

You know it is the
Master of
Orchestration,
The inner mounting flame of
The Mahavishnu's
Soaring
Guitar.
