One More Glance

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

ear to ear

head to toe

going where nothing else dares go

owning me

kicking in the front door

invading my house

holding me hostage

from the basement of my soul

to the attic of my heart

all windows and floors in between

no matter how dire things may seem

in the brimbles, brambles, swamps, knolls and glens

i'm alive

it's alive

preaching to the choir

taking me higher

incapable of being a liar

pure euphony

staining glass

lighting candles 'neath my feet as i sing and dance

chant, preach, worship and prance

ever willing to take another chance as it puts me in a trance

this unexpected intruder stops to look over its shoulder as it flees as quickly as it came

knowing full well that there's always time for

one more glance

.

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

Enjoy a wonderful walk with Milo, Pete. Our weather is more like Winter than Autumn. Just looking out my window, the trees are shaking to and fro thanks to quite a strong wind. Hope you and Milo both enjoy a lovely walk in the warm evening sunshine. Bless you both...
