Solo Flight is a poem of how our mediums of expression, get us, artists through lonely, dark times when we are susceptible to potentially dangerous thoughts of suicide...a serious matter.

Prose: Standing Ovation: Imagine,
it is 2 AM, a lone musician finds himself restless, with mind reeling in the
middle of the night. He lives in New York city. He has a loft studio in the
heart of the city. The backdrop is the New York city skyline. Up on the
roof on the twenty-first floor, he can blow his horn to his heart's content
and disturb no one...
Depressed and lonely - he's in a mood to play...He blows on
the horn, out comes a raspy, low tone that he graduates in a real earthy,
blues, jazzy song that, sadly - only he can hear.
The buildings in the back ground are the only audience; they seem to
appreciate the tune and stand in what seems a standing ovation.

Solo Flight' poem
There are numerous times in artists’ lives when we find ourselves in a dark pit of loneliness - without friends, family, without any one to share our thoughts and loneliness.
It is times like these that we
are most vulnerable and contemplate deep dark thoughts - and perhaps - even suicide...
But, it is also, times like these that we find ourselves with our mediums of
expression and we create - to fly out of the pit of loneliness and into the
light and safety of a new day!
