DRUMS

DRUMS

The invigorating beats of the tai ko
felt like a cold morning shower
awakening the tired mind
raising it from slumber

The rhythmic kompang drums
felt like pounding heart beats
that made my body elated
with a joy of being crowned

The astounding miridangam sounds
like a meditative charm
awakening my powerless mind
shielding me from materialistic harm

The music of the drums
are enchanted flowers
blooming with an aroma
that delight as well as intrigue us

Music is alive within us all
and it is the language of the souls
that can uplift us and bind us all
