You are the reason I exist - you know that don t you - I m on this earth because of the beauty you ve left behind You went away long before me But you always stood just over my shoulder Watching me create and perform Your legacy of brilliance steers my life in so many ways I hear your words the portraits of love and fantasy you weave But more so I listen to your songs Painting brushed with soul notes down to the finest detail You tell me of the wind and sandcastles the sea about what it is to be on this world You showed me that so much can be said without words yet still tell stories about anything and everything For all this I thank you --------------------------------------- For Jimi Hendrix there will never be another ---------------------------------------
