Rhythm of Life


My heart beats like African Drums
Beats in several rhythms of Love
Love of my enemies
Love of my friends
Love of my daughters
Love of my sons
Love of my kin
Each a different beat of the same melody
Each a different verse of the same song
You are more
You are the beat that makes me dance
You are the song that makes me sing
The melody behind every hum
That distant perky ting
