Drum Circle

a cool spring night in the city

yet the drums roll and the pipes play on

leaning back enjoying the rhythms of music and life

at the ampitheater lawn

feeling all around

part of it particle of the universe

an essence the will never completely disappear

although my body will break down and is even now day by day.

a young man soft spoken mocha skin almond brown eyes intelligent but kind

opens up a dialogue to a shy woman wrapping herself in the cocoon of a silver parka

hiding herself right in view of others

trying not to withdraw

to be open to what is there.

the talk is of art, music, writing

life,

the heart

soul

thank you for you reflected me in some ways

in a soft spoken yet with passion and intellect for what he loves

he conveyed to me what was important in  a small space of time

reminded me that life and creativity is not without heart and soul

making me want to be like him understand him

calm yet wise

reminding me that i am like him

open and interested in life.
