Spirit Drummers

On mountain top with drums in hand

Brothers in spirit – perched high above sea & land

Playing begins – with loving inflections

Our intentions sent out – in four directions

We play to water, mountains, and trees

Our Mothers voice heard in the breeze

Sunlight dances upon the sea

Yielding shimmering diamonds from nature’s treasury

Drums and drummers - become one

A web connecting all that lives - is spun

Blessing sent out – in a rhythmic prayer

Soon picked up by messengers throughout the air

As we play on upon - this most sacred of havens

First honoured guest to show - the ravens

Next blessed by eagles – so close - we can invite

That our prayers be taken to heaven - along with their flight

Not just any drums – created with love from the start

Join those that played them - vibrating through their heart

We thank the Creator – all there present once at the end

We are all one - made real – by time spent drumming with a friend
