what comes around

Bansuri wooden flute

Sugarcane reincarnation,

Bamboo teental bagpipes,

Left hand right hand fingering

Celebration of the now.

Tabla twin hand drums,

Left hand dagga palming waves of rhythms,

Right hand hummingbird winged fingers polishing the raga,

Both embellishing the sweetness of birth,

Both exploring the confidence of death and beyond.

And once birthing the tala’s sixteen beats,

Exquisite life without limit,

The sum will thread and weave into her next cycle,

Heart’s breath beginning once again
