Drum beat. Pounding into my mind.
Heart beat. Drum beat in my blood.
My spirit rises to the Upperworld.
It burrows deep to the Underworld.
I run through time and space,
Watching, listening, questioning.
Worlds of wonder and great knowledge
Are mine for the journeying.
On my shoulder a hawk and an owl.
Treading softly beside me the cats.
I am singer of the Moon, sister to the drum.
By oak, ash, and thorn I meet the Gentle Folk.
I shake the Silver Branch
And all is quiet within my mind.
I listen...
To the Elder voices,
To the music of the universe,
To the voices of all creatures.
I ride the voice of the drum on my journey.
Drum beat.
Heart beat.
Soul song.
