The Beat of Our Drum

Smiling, laughing, trusting.
we came in as beats,
now forming a heavy melody.

Pat pat pat
as we play our own tune
rhythms reflecting our blueprints

each beat so unique from the rest
aligned on the staff
a portrayal of harmonic diversity

beauty found in the dances response
non-stopping rhythm reflected throughout
the children's laughter and innocence

20 days the Hands were gently placed
cautiously over the stretched hide
recreating stories through sound

no beat is its own
we are all one
This is the beat of our drum.
