the drums are beating…………i hear them from afar and they draw me in.
as i walk i try to hide myself from its pull
the beats, like my heart, give life to all that is around it
i creep closer……….the drum is under the open sky
i search for people………no one is there,
the drum is beating on its own
calling out to those who need to hear it, it draws us in……….
people begin encircling the drum from all directions- walking out of the darkness
searching for their own beating heart
Simply Chronically Ill 
Very nicely written. I have enjoyed it.

Dearest Wendi, I came back to this Drum post for a reason.. I admire your inner courage so very much my friend.. While I no longer accept Blog awards, I made one myself a few years ago to give out to those whom I think are deserving and special,
You dear friend I see are special, I hope you will accept and pass along to other deserving people who meet the short poems goals..
Love and Light dear friend and here is your Hearts As One Drumbeat Award
https://suedreamwalker.wordpress.com/awards-hearts-as-one-drumbeat-award/ Please feel free to upload the Drum. It was a drum that was made by a friend and I painted it .. and made the stick..
Love and Blessings Sue

If you have any problems let me know and I will add the link, but sometimes when I add links I get sent into peoples spam boxes and I’ve got stuck many times with people not being able to see my comments.. Then Askismet remembers us a spam, lol.. I am sure your hubby will figure it out, 😀
