Life Began in Brookyln (The Birth of HymnAgen)
I fell in love with the syncopated rhythms I heard
that gave musicality to her messages.
Her words floated like notes so expressive.
I hoped I could indefinitely remain connected to that moment…
Losing myself in her time…
my heart’s rhythm entrained by her cadences,
my mind fully engaging the matter of her subjects.
Never did I suspect this chance encounter
would spur a course correction,
leading me creatively in a tangential direction.
That night the emcee in me began to cocoon.
I would reemerge as HymnAgen when I left
The Brooklyn Moon Café.

Nice scenery and usage of expressive words, I have always felt every city has a certain rhythm about them

Yo, I keep reading this one feeling like I'm in that cafe, feeling like I'm too cocooning, feeling like I'm sitting back and she asking me what are you waiting for... feeling motivated.
