Acrylic painting by Chip Ghigna
Drum Beats
A blur of hands,
a shock of hair,
a smile flashes
through the air,
time stands still
like a hum
in the heartbeat
of his drum.
* * *
Thunder rolls
in his hands,
lightning dances
in his eyes,
his drum beats
away the night,
leading us
to bluer skies.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Laura!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a team you and Chip make!
ReplyDeleteNow I have another favorite from you, I loved the "blur of hands" and "shock of hair" bit as well. Enjoy visiting your posts every Friday. :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Father Goose! I've always wished I knew how to drum---and now I have another reason: to "beat away the night." Lovely.
ReplyDeleteLove the poem/art combo. His painting matches your blog background!
