There are
Images painted right in the core of your mind,
No camera can take, nor video rewind;
The sight of a young man carrying a new born calf in his hands
Trudging open plains, mother cow in tow, lowing in reverence
Cattle herders painting their skin grey,
Dancing the night away naked,
because the sun is away
Siblings holding hands and walking in the bright sun,
Herding goats and sheep, this their fun
The sound of laughter from cattle herders huddled around a fire,
Cows and bulls surrounding them, safe because of their masters
Images of people gyrating and ululating;
Drumbeats on a Sunday evening;
Married with voices of people a-singing,
Homage to the One that created all things Living!
Pictures of the hopes and celebrations of a life so vibrant
These, the images one revels in,
Forever imprinted on the minds of those looking in.

But by looking in you cannot help but join in
Join your heart to the music they sing
To the beating of the drum
For art in any form calls to the heart of the observer
And once it touchs your heart you and it's creator
Pay homage to the One who created all things....
