Drum Beat
By Raederle Phoenix
2006 (Senior Year of Highschool)
The beat of the drum
Is the beat in my soul
Is the beat that my feet
Have learned to step to
The beat of my heart
Is the beat in my soul
Is the beat that my feet
Have learned to move to
The beat of the drum
Is the beat in my heart
Is the beat of my feet
As I dance around the fire
The beat of the drum
Is the beat of the fire
Is the beat of my feet
As I dance, and I sire.
— Raederle Phoenix
I wrote this in 2006 when I was a senior in high school. I was experimenting with just how rhymical I could make the words. I was particularly imagining djembe drums, which I fell in love with the very first time I heard them.
