A Hum

HMMM HMMMM HMMMMM
HMMM HMMMM HMMMMM
I can hear a hum
HMMM HMMMM HMMMMM
It is getting closer
HMMM HMMMM HMMMMM
It became my heart beat

A union of voices emerged from somewhere near
Drums slowly began to play
HMMM HMMMM HMMMMM
The hum once more

I close my eyes to seek 
I close my eyes to identify the hum, voices, and drums
I close my eyes and seek

Tears dropped from my eyes;
A prayer was sent...
