Abode

When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. - Thoreau

saxophone blows speak in tongues

guitar strums climb a wailing wall

faithful, rock steady percussion stoning

bass string plucks reverberate in the soul

a religious experience that never grows old

prayed notes and chords bow down in homage

raising the dead from a place called sheol

.

Author's Note

"Music is the sound of the universal laws promulgated. It is the only assured tone. There are in it such strains as far surpass any man’s faith in the loftiness of his destiny. Things are to be learned which it will be worth the while to learn." - Thoreau

Music can lift our souls. It can allow us to express our faith and give praise in a joyous way. Music does a great many things and allows us to feel the full array of emotions that we humans can feel. Well done
