Friday Revival

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Late last Friday afternoon, this musician was outside the Dromana Hub Shopping Centre, Mornington Peninsula
The sounds of his pulsing soft and bold jazz/folk/avant garde rhythms were electrifying!

SOOC Sunday #106
+
Haiku Heights #18 ~ Stranger
This week the theme is suggested by Gemma of Greyscale Territory
~

Just a thin stranger
Playing his soul through music
Charming diversion

In a late moment
Lost smiling dancing rhythms
Remembered to pulse
~
