The Beat Of A Drummer

By sidewinder

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The beat of a drummer, Do you hear what I hear? Feel the rhythm of the beat, The soul of everything, Do you know what I mean? Play the drum my friend, I'll always hear you if only in my dreams, keep playing the drum though I'm not sure of what it means to you, I hear the beat & the roll, All the way to my soul, Never let me go, And yet.. when I hear it, It always makes me whole, I never tire of hearing you play, It's become apart of me, My hope & my cheer, It's strength grows inside of me, And love grows so dear. Play the drum my friend, I'll always hear you if only in my dreams, Keep playing the drum, Though I'm not sure of what it means to you. Sept. 2, 1984 Written April 8th, 2002 © on Sep 22 2002 05:13 AM PST, Billy E. Whitehorn    contemporary
