Under My Feet And 'Pon My Spirit

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

speaking the dialect of my soul

dancing when legs are weak

planting gardens when life seems bleak

oiling old bones that squeak

stirring the numbskull as well as the geek

washing windows without leaving a streak

plugging a spirit's seemingly unstoppable leak

granting courage to the meek

never playing hide and seek

all that and more

as it ushers,

even holding open the door

as i cross over a muddy creek

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

There is music in the natural environment. Listen to the babbling brook, the crescendo of a storm at sea, the drone of the honey bee, or maybe the rustle in the skirts of woodland trees. And then of course there is the man made kind and how dull and empty life would be without it. A great place to get lost in. Got carried away there Re-Pete:) Why the name change?

ever the poet, you just wrote a poem in your review! you couldn't be more right - one time while walking in the woods, thoreau wrote, "Every sound is music now."

the name change - lol. not sure, trying to stir things up perhaps? i'll probably go back to the old one eventually. what do you think of it?

[Chris Shaw]

Re-Pete sounds a bit like acid reflux😂. What’s wrong with good old Pete? Tell me what Re-Pete stands for :)

[Pete]

lol. stands for the same old thing over and over i guess. so that's one vote against?

[Chris Shaw]

You are doing yourself down. I am talking you up :)

This is so cool, I love music, it has a power and heart.
