Poetic Drums

Ancestral 

Celestial

Grand Rising high

A journey so questrial

Elevate

Motivate 

A divine connection

Between spiritual and creative realms

A spark

A flame

A birth right

A name

Wild free untamed

Authentic	

Unchained

Poetic drums are my native language

We know each other so well

A colonizer could not change it

An oppressor could not enslave it

For me and my poetic drum are one

Grand rising 

Melanin thriving under the divine shining of the sun
