Drums – C & K

The Thrum

leaves fall in the night
the thrum of the forest drums
wild tribal dancing

drums from the forest
Nature’s bass is low and deep
ancient vibrations
The humans from long ago
Their spirits fill the forest

Swirling colourful cloth,
the scent of sandalwood and the streets.

Bangles move to the drums,
almost touching, and the dance gathers emotion.

Daydreaming you’re a star,
Bollywood feels like floating on a fame cloud.

Wailing, you are my Jaanu!
Strange looks from people passing by.

Sounds of the city,
drums and an oud play a song
a wonderful day
