Heartbeat
The Drums beat the heartbeat of Mother Earth.
She stands beside me in the misty form
of Spirit: Always here--
always there--I am aware . . .
The sun sets with the final beat of the drums,
as the wolf trots home to his mate
and the eagle soars to his family nest.We are alone-within the mist--I hold her in my arms.
Gently I sing the love song
of my heart that breathes
the breath of hope--into the future.
The night is followed by the fullness of sister moon,
and the stars point their way to the heavens--
where all of love is born.
We dance together-the spirit dance-amid
the wonders of life: all things
great and small - - -
And the drums beat the heartbeat of
Mother Earth--within my longing heart.
All--is beautiful, . . tonight.Jason Greywolf Leigh
