A Love Supreme

A Poem by Pete

Always there is life which, rightly lived, implies a divine satisfaction. - Thoreau

we're born
we die

we keep the soul
clinging to truth
letting go of the lie

Author's Note

Pete
"But let us hear a strain of music, we are at once advertised of a life which no man had told us of, which no preacher preaches. Suppose I try to describe faithfully the prospect which a strain of music exhibits to me. The field of my life becomes a boundless plain, glorious to tread, with no death nor disappointment at the end of it. All meanness and trivialness disappear. I become adequate to any deed. No particulars survive this expansion; persons do not survive it. In the light of this strain there is no thou nor I. We are actually lifted above ourselves." - Thoreau
