Compelling

it's always been a mystery why i am so moved day or night at the sound of native drumming when loudly my heart thumps in rhythm ducking logic with every beat stirring deep primal emotions awakening dormant passion releasing unchartered tension setting free inner vibrations beneath layers rising chanting echoing way inside my head is something more mysterious than rumors of previous lives they say we are meant to have lived i ask why do i resonate with the heart of a native teen when riding a river by canoe haunted by the call of the woods enamored by nature's wild scent the water the sun the forest and the grey heron in full flight AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on October 27, 2018 for CONTEST NO.510 sponsored by BRIAN STRAND and October 1, 2018 for contest FICTION WRITE - OCTOBER 2018 sponsored by DEAR HEART AKA BROKEN WINGS
