M. L. Kiser Poet Free verse

Music To My Ears

Effervescent elation arises and dances to ancient echoes; the rhythm of the drums heartbeat.  
Champagne notes bubble into the night sky; night music of Gaia’s children is music to my sleeping ears.

Ethereal flutes singing to the crickets, 
usher me into the dreamtime and there I awaken; 
an ancient being, I heed the call.

I drum along; wings beating out the chorus; 
I dance in skies of cotton white fluff. 
Drums intensifying, crescendo as, 
Native Voices sing my name.  
I am king Thunderbird and my subjects saluting me…
music to my ears.
