Awakening

Drum beat of heart
calling to my soul
dances of praise
of once upon a time
I know

Painted faces
songs gushing from heart
listening to the pieces
that have not departed
from my soul

Hearing the echo of the winds
that rejoice
distant memories now
become the noise of drums
connections felt strong and true

Playing the pieces
of the drum beats flow
rapture exists here no more
as I dance in the night sky

Remembrance of my ghost song
so bold and true
beautiful awakening
upon the morning dew

thought it was 2 amazing for words.

[Raven Starhawk]

I read this out loud. It sounds like a piece that should be spoken and admired with pristine intellect.

The drum must have been the first musical instrument (could be wrong!) so it's beat has come down through the ages of man, and is still so strong today. Well done here... rough draft or not! (not I think!)

"Hearing the echo of the winds

This is heart warming. The flow you give this poem has a feel of awakening to a better day and that's what makes it compelling when read. Nice write indeed.

I like the poem. I like the feel of mystery in the story in this poem. Each statement allowing the reader to create a good vision of night and fear. I like the way you ended the poem. Thank you for a excellent poem. You create a powerful tale using a minimal amount of words.
