DRUM OF LIFE
They always dance to it The drum and rhythm of life The beat are so lovely If you can get it. Life is a mystery A journey you alone ride But with support it becomes worthwhile. Life is so frustrating When you know or own nothing. Drives you crazy, if you're lazy Not having the courage to go after, What you...

When you take a walk alone in nature…listen to your footsteps because from the moment that you start… You’ll hear how the sound your footsteps make…match the beating of your heart.

Premium Member JUST BECAUSE
Just because television is a bore writing a poem is less a chore I can live in a scribble where words soar Minds that ripple the universe forevermore Because I am envious of your style Yours is limitless like silver smile You are cool like a sculptured rock Turquoise jewel of classic hip hop Because I think too much all the time And want...

The Drum Is Beating Still
The drum is beating still For now the setting sun Will set the beating heart Now that the race is run Beyond the moving breeze Beyond the dying light The phantom thunder cries The drum rolls in the night The shadows in the dark reveal The moonscape of the lawn One feels the beat percussive Pulsing – on and on It beats a rhythmic message In passages beneath The...
