Drum Dance

Music In My Bones

Stacy Johnson

Loud beats, happy feet

Spirits soaring high.

Floating on a melody,

Dancing through the pain,

Gliding toward the sound.

Music, my sweet love,

long-awaited good night.

I crawl inside your drum

For peace awaits me there.

Please do not disturb me while I heal

My mind needs to rest,

My body will take over.

And when I am done dancing

The drums will not stop.

They live in my bones and beat within my heart

I am

Free.
