One, Two, Three, Four Score

Every sound is music now. - Thoreau

i long to slumber with violins

dreaming of trumpets and drums

sawing the wood of a bass

hoping to pickup the pace

strumming the feelings of a guitar

humming emotions near and far

plucking the strings of a harp

searching for the chord of a c-sharp

waking up with flutes

singing with the deaf, dumb and mutes

conducting the forgiveness of my sins

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

Lovers of music know it can be the best doctor ever, the arms of a loving mother, any kind of proposal man to woman, child to toy. Your love of music really has your thoughts calling out here, Pete! As for Sting and the lyrics - pretty good, yes?!

[Pete]

i wouldn't want to live in a world without music - it touches and stirs us in ways that nothing else can with its own universal language. ah, sting - better than good!
