~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Africa my lady
your red blood earth and endless skies
drum
pulsating beats through primordial
seat
base-rhythm a roll that’s rounded
"Keep-us-grounded-keep-us-grounded"
New Australia New Zealand
walkabout orange dust and tepid air
throb
didgeridoo drones of ancient
shamanic feet
Shuddering a longing god-sacred wish
"bring-together-the-new, bring-together-the-old"
Westerners and YELLOW East
where mystery and machinery
meet
tears of the cello, allegro laughter
feel
By molding pain and joy
Face both shadow and light
"gratitude-in-sadness, jubilation-in-gladness"
The cold cold north of Viking Norse
where ice and sap green runes
spaceship
the hang between bright lone stars
percussionist
of passion and string gentleness
"dream, strive, desire!!! find LOVE"
Blue angel choirs of voice so strong
where the Word becomes a song
Sing
melodies and primal cries
Shout
where eagles fly
Lift your voice in praise
"glory oh Spirit, glory thy Name"
Indigo tabla, indigo see
Other worlds within worlds it be
Stroke of fingers,
tap visions
Of the not yet seen
that urges me
"open-your-eyes, open-your-eye"
Purple flute softly whispers
the road to travel
destiny yours to unravel
Follow your Spirit, America!
"Walk-your-own-path"
The birth of a soft faint sound
Will rise, crescendo-explode into love
and make us…
ONE
