It is like the curling echoes of the magical wand,
Lining the pieces of beauty in scattered sand.
It is like the emptiness in the heart’s inner recesses,
Aching for the euphoric sound of the buzzing drums.
It is like a whisper to the inner core of the broken soul,
Awakening the depths of potential with rock and roll.
Traditional ancient dances with their names you call,
Drinking from cups of brewed beer and modern ale.
The songs soothe our hearts before the night’s dark shadows,
As we enjoy life; behind the grave are no more praises,
The fear of death in its deadest darkest days whispers,
And the music is the key to unlocking doors of possibilities.
