DRUMS AND FLUTES

Drums and flutes -
the basic sounds
down deep in our bodies.
The drum beat of our heart
sending red blood - rushing red blood
back and forth - up and down through
the flute of our arteries and veins -
down deep and all around and around
sounds in our bodies. It’s connecting us
with all the earth and all the oceans -
the lakes and rivers of our bodies
and our planet and its peoples.
We don’t need a stereoscope,
microscope or telescope to see -
to feel - to listen to the ALL.
Prayer: to close one’s eyes,
to feel one’s pulse - to connect
with one’s body - being with this great
circle called our Mother Earth,
from which we came and
to which we’re going. This is
our story….  Listen! Listen! Listen!
Drums and flutes ….
It’s connecting us day after day,
page after page, sound after sound
beat after beat, story after story
with the story and sounds of everyone.
