Percussion's Groove

Sound of the drumbeats stirred a move As they gathered for the war dance With movements to percussion's groove Sound of the drumbeats stirred a move Prepared for war, their skills to prove Blazing fire put them in a trance Sound of the drumbeats stirred a move As they gathered for the war dance 6-12-2024

I can almost hear those drumbeats in the background. Your thoughts take me to another time and place. Well done, Joseph. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

There is such a sense of impending doom "as they gathered for the war dance," Joseph. Your words are written in the prophetic not in a for sure reality leaving open a place for hope and cooler heads to intervene! Would be wise for all of us to heed your warning and work for peace. Blessings!

Could feel the drums. Better if it ere a parade instead of war. Nicely done.
