Fine by Me

When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest. - Thoreau

melody a kickin'

bobbin' my head like a chicken

finger lickin'

rhythm-stricken

tappin' my feet

mouthin' the words

flying through the sky on the wings of ariose birds

every note

every chord

when i'm down

when i'm bored

each beat of the pounded drum

each and every reverberating strum

giving me cause to hum

every pluck of the bass

infusing me with heavenly grace

whisking me away to anyplace

pickin' up the pace

helpin' me to finish the race

wrapped around me like a comfy sweater

the louder the better

no matter the genre, no matter the key

infusing and lifting the world that i see

no better way to be

and that's just 

fine by me

Author's Note

"Men profess to be lovers of music, but for the most part they give no evidence in their opinions and lives that they have heard it." - Thoreau
