Abdul Wadud
..father of Raheem DeVaughn
An outstanding cellist, Abdul Wadud has concentrated solely on the instrument since the age of nine, and never decided to double on bass. His plucking and bowed solos have been featured in jazz and symphonic/classical settings, and Wadud's easily the finest cellist to emerge from the '60s and '70s generation. He studied at Youngstown State and Oberlin in the late…

When I Look In Your Eyes
So many nights have passed
and waved hello
to the entering sun
while fading beyond the stars
and beyond my dreams.
Throughout them all,
I've thought about
your eyes,
and the way they
'told' me things
that my heart needed
and wanted to hear.
I miss those nights.
The feelings have engraved
a permanent place
in my being,
like so many
resting…

Your Smile
I took my walk around the square today
feeling a sense of
renewal and ease
I noticed the children
as they ran and played
as I strolled
holding hands with
the breeze.
My thoughts sauntered lazily throughout
my head
as my senses
inhaled sights and sounds...
I smelled popcorn
and chinese food
flowers
and soft rain
as…
