drum, drum, drum, drum
BOOM, drum, drum, drum
Earth reverberating
energy rising
listen to the drum beat
BOOM, drum, drum, drum
jingle, jingle, jingle
slide, jingle
shuffle, jingle
shake, jingle
jingle, jingle, jingle
she walks the circle full.
she fills the air sublime
her energy sent out
on tingles bells to mine
the beat it is my heart
my heart goes out to you
you heal the hurt I do not know
beats pow and wow so true.
jingle, jingle, jingle
slide, jingle
shuffle, jingle
shake, jingle
jingle, jingle, jingle
your medicine dance
entrances my soul all
Grandfather's drum owns me.
Tears gather and heed your call
drum, drum, drum, drum
drum, drum, drum, drum
BOOM, drum, drum, drum
Dance for me
dance for the world
jingle tears down cheeks unknown
with honour returned to earth's womb
Hiyaaah huh!

The energy and power of a pow wow is a pretty amazing thing, even in a smaller setting. If you have never been part of a circle, it is worth a sit down. The other circle I am sitting in on this week is over at One Stop Poetry. There are bound to be a few poets there that will rock your world, so again worth a check out. Peace to you!
