Inner Sense of Rhythm

Inner sense of rhythm

Henry David Thoreau
comes to mind

A different beat
from a distant drummer

the drummer within
beckons each one of us
Most pretend not to hear it
Others drown it out
being busy
with life's chores --
the path we choose
each day of our lives
will bring the drums
closer
or farther away,
they always return
they are the compelling notions
in our brain
coming to the surface
reminding us
of a mission
branded within our souls
the uniting of soul & spirit
comes with its own dna
a hidden imprint
awaiting
our choice
to stand up & walk tall
to begin a journey
far beyond any we can recall
a fresh
and exciting
perspective
the drums keep calling us
no matter how far
we run away
the drums keep calling us
no matter how far
we go astray
the drums keep calling us
