THE HEART DRUM

Hidden in the deepest crevice of the being

Echoing in the depth of the soul

A live drum lays and peals from within

Raging against the loquaciousness of the tongue

There’s so much to say!

Don’t! Lest the drum not be heard

Right through the portals of the heart

Unheard heartbeats stir in a cacophonous frenzy

Moving from all corners

Gyrating from the innards of the heart!

Turning!

      Twisting!

           Rumbling staccato!

               Bubbling!

Till it pours out of the being

The sweetest soulful melody

The cry of the heart drum.
