the piano and the drum

Because I am the piano and you are the drum,

the symphony is never complete without us.

without the slide of beats that falls on a downstream of eroded rocks.

Without the music that injects a vile that draws

this mile long hike of harmony (that stops and trips a while)

before we reach the bank of many waiting hearts

My piano grows a lush of oaks

Your drums swirl lucid drops of tones.

And together we sound as one

in music,

in hymn,

in mind

and in heart.

Two thumps — one pitch.

One beat in an octave of notes.

A catharsis of melodies…vibrant

As one.

I hum the melody in the beat of your pulse.

because I am the piano and you are the drum.
