In the distance drums wail:
grasp the rhythm of drum-claps
crooning, perforating our
celebrating souls
Listen, listen with attention
to the flowing crscendo
collating rhythmic melody
oozing from creative hands
of master drummers
bathing us with hypnotic slaps...
Listen, listen with intent
to the soothing body talks
of our dramatic dancers
immerse your souls in the drum-beats:
let your body sip from it.
Listen, listen with body and soul
to energizing songs of singers
voices raising and falling like
lapping sea waves
Clap on, wail on
keep the beat alive
let it not flicker away...
Daze us drummers
dazzle us dancers
stun us singers
make our waist gyrate
beyond limits.
An excellent clarion call to the reader's soul, drummed out by your pen--this poem beats with passion! I love drums, too. :-)
