The Distant Drum

My heart beats like a child around this time of the year and I’m flooded with all kinds of memories of people and occasions.

Some times spent were more memorable than some and will always linger and are more vivid.

The Distant Drum

There is a friend whose drum beats distantly

Her thump sounds tranquilly

Especially thumping in my ear

Distant drum beating throughout the year

I was weakened and beaten, down on the knees

Surrendered yet still I bid no ease

Thumping went on and with each bang, I wanted more

A drum like this needs special encore

No need therefore to stop and especially not now

This drum makes my heartbeat special somehow

Drum echoing nostalgia is striking each nerve

Rhythmically spreading with the Season’s verve

Unanimously they scream that my prayers come true

Many of God’s Blessings always, I pray for you!
