What music, what drum beat
does this man walk to
What music, what drum beat
is in his head when he wins
What strum of the strings
inspires him to try
to take the chance
to win or lose
to stand up to an other’s tune
What’s inside his head
what ringing in the ears
drives this man
whose voice, whose tin notes
inspires him to not pause
but to win the fight.
What is inside this man
not muscle or bone or blood
but what is it he hears
in his head
this man’s mass of mind.
What music, what drum beat
does this man walk to?

Wow! I love your poems! This one is excellent! 🙂
Yes, I think of the voices that inspire me to try…to keep fighting…and I am grateful for them.
I think it’s interesting to take the time to figure out what music, what drum beat, we walk to and then “listen” to it when we need to “march”. 🙂
HUGS!!! 🙂
