bang drums

lets bang drums and walk through fields
empty and lined with trees
dandelioned and green grassed

lets bang drums and look towards the sky
open mouths and sing aloud
all that we feel and all that we see

lets bang drums and run to the west
through the forest and through the mountains
through the sand and through the ocean

lets bang drums and forget what you heard
about what it means to be
and what the birds say is right and wrong

lets bang drums and sing new songs
with words and rhymes and stupid little lines
that say what we mean and mean what we feel

lets bang drums until the sun comes back down
and the moon shoots through the pink and purple
joins the stars and the black in the sky so high

lets bang drums until our arms fall asleep
until the world screams for us to shut up
until it all slips away, one closed eye at a time

lets bang drums and run in circles
notes touching notes
forever
