For My Beating Drum

My heart, it is a beating drum and it dances to many a note. This sweet, song plays; by God, is recorded. Part of the heavenly band; a spiritual lilting light. In Gods light, my beating drum, sings along with the band rings out its notes. A best-selling record, finite, in its play. A mortal song can play within God’s holy light. Celestial records, with golden drums, play the best notes in Heaven’s band. Every good band, with unending passion, plays the most dynamic notes; uplifting tones of beaming lights. Every drummer’s drum, Is heard and recorded. In Heaven’s studio, is recorded, every soul-band. when I play my drum; oh how I play vibrations of light; celestial crystal notes. Resounding, celestial notes Ring on the etchers and are recorded faster than the speed of light. The history of Heaven’s band; a soul’s music, can be played upon their mortal drum. Many notes dance in the celestial light. Soul’s celestial records, will eternally play. The happiest soul in the band; to the rhythm of life, will drum.

On a scale of one to ten this is a twenty-three. I had never read a Sestina. Now - can I write one? Do I understand it? No. Absolutely not, so I think you wrote this one for me and you. Love it! I do not know which part is the most fun. It is delightful my friend.

Of course I did. You can write one. As long as you have then ending words of each stanza in the right order, you've got it. Glad you liked it.
