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
