Thrive

drums beating in the distance

calling out the heart of Mother Earth

a constant beat that signals

the light, the awakening, the path

for all to know the harmony

of one man to another, one race to the others

that we may all know our destiny

which is to live hand in hand

to give, to share, to walk together

healing the violence that we condemn

healing the hatred borne of fear

healing the answer our impatience longs for

to give humanity yet another chance to thrive
