He would put the trumpet to his lips
And from the horn this sound would come,
This sound that would bring me so much joy.
A sound that went through my heart
Into my soul.
In time My Spirit will be with him,
And throughout infinity
I will be listening to him,
With him and his sound,
As Chet and I are in Utopia.

- Comment from author about the poem: Chet Baker was born on this day (23rd December) in 1929. His sound is so unique to me, such a wonderful sound that always calls to me. Happy Birthday Chet. (He died in Amsterdam May 13th 1988 - such a loss to jazz)
