Tension Bolts

Synchronized steps walked cautiously, 
Wandered in the conductor's lair. 
   Where once was echoing laughter,
 Now sits a soft-pedal chair.  

   Roaring and thunderous barrage,  
Wry language that he called his own.  
   Brings a foundational pulse,  
A groove he’s always shown. 
 
Collectively, experienced-
   The roaring of his defeat. 
A community of healing-
   Our drum circle- yields to the beat.
