War... drumbeats

Applying fresh layers

…of war paint

 

Ancient ones

In whom… we are formed…  

 

Battle armor…  

Inspired by… the stars

 

Fashioned from fallen stones…

Of distant space beyond …this time

 

 Fallen from the skies

Finding …us, here…

Now…

 

As such, there is …no accident…

About this…  

 

About these crossroads…

About …us…

 

 

Seen

…among the stars…  

 

Savage, strong…

 

Relentless …in its pursuit…

Of its destiny…

 

Somehow …in a timeless sense…  

Connecting, with us as spiritual beings

 

Beyond …our furthest dreams…  

 

 

 

Sharp, bold….

Sun…

 

Spins …as its place in the universe,

Like our own… image…

 

Fits perfectly…

Upon its heavenly throne…  

 

Pride…

We have, taken in stride…

With glorious histories of our own,  

 

Although, largely unspoken…

 

Songs of the ancients

Fills the atmosphere…  

 

Coming from…

High up above…

 

War chants…

Chain lightning, touching…  

 

Both

Near …and far…

 

In the array …of spiritual beings

Assembled …to task…

 

We are …ready…  

To rise …and be counted…

 

War …drums…  

Heard from a distance…

 

So…

You’d never

…see them coming…  

 

Blood …soldiers…

Assembled, to the task…  

 

Sending aloft…

Clouds of sound,

 

Visions, created

…in the air…  

 

Ancient beats…  

 

Operators

…of the equipment…

 

Talk …each, in turn…  

Each pause, the cue

 

For another

…to take the lead…

 

Planting …seeds…

…  

Launch …series, of notes…   

As the drummers circle…

Expounds upon each new theme

…leaps into being…

 

Carries it …around…

 

As the lion carries

…a fresh kill…  

 

Roaring, with pride

 

As if, saying

…tonight, we will eat…  

 

Tonight… we will eat…

 

Takes each round to new heights

Reaches

New ground

Starts it smoking

Sets it afire

Faster…

Further… deeper…  

 

Wider …each beat dipping deeper…  

Interactions… maximize…

Expand …and contract…

Talking, back and forth…

Rhythms …of blues,

So profound…

Somewhere days …cast aloft…

Carried …upon the winds,

Like… the first

Signs of light

Of the day…  

 

Like… the thunder

 …of the terrifying storms

We heard… as children…   

 

Songs …from

The beginning of life  

 

Heartbeats…

A beautiful, pounding, rhythmis flow of memories then and now. Had to go and sit with my Conga that I had not talked with for some time. Thanks. Peace and Love, mlowe.

Each particle... in the wave, both of which... we are, in the flow... loving the feedback. from such esteemed thinkers, drummers... in a circle... of our own.

Wise_Notion/mlowe5... Nations are being built ...of our visions. Channeling the spiritual energies, as our dreams dance to life... reflections of life, upon the paths we walk. Mlowe5, razing Hell... is just a skirmish, in the heat of the battle oftime/space.
