Poetry: Fireside Drumming
Posted on Apr 14, 2005 - 04:49 PM by Ardy

Bardic Circle The fire crackles and sparks
The drums tap and boom and thump
The dancers spin and whirl and step
to the rhythm of the drums.

A tiny child ventures into the firelight
Spinning and whirling and learning to step
to the rhythm of the drums.

Older, taller dancers step around the child,
Or pause to dance with the child for a few
beats of the rhythm of the drums.

Older eyes, taller dancers, keep watch and gently
turn the whirling child away from the edge of the fire,
and the child learns the rhythm of the drums.

An aged dancer ventures into the firelight
Slowly spinning, slowly whirling, slowly stepping
to the rhythm of the drums.

Younger dancers see the slower steps and dance
aside so as not to bump a shaky balance;
Extend a hand to steady a hesitant step . . .
A step that moves to every third beat of the
drums . . . but a step that has not forgotten
the rhythm of the drums.

We are family......................
Ardy
