Dreaming of a Drum

feel it in your fists to your feet

the drum casting a shaking beat

 

your heart beats faster

faster that the beat of the drum and its caster

 

you imagine it's a dream

then realize it's all too real than it should seem

 

your hair swirls round your head

swings and whips till you see red

 

your feet lift from the ground

taking you farther away with this sound

 

the beat overtakes your soul

holding your body under it's control

 

you love this spell you're under

it makes you feel alive as your chest fills with thunder

 

but the beat fades and falls

and you wish the drum could hear your call

 

it slows to a soft thrum

and you wake up from dreaming of the drum
