#DailyPrompt: Beat The Drum

Beating the drum, the rhythm started soft.
Beat, beat, beat. I was running to the village square. Hearing the loud drum. Everything was painted golden. The air smelled so local and kids were playing around, chasing each other in circles. Everywhere was all fun.

As it continued to beat the drum, I wondered hearing the sound. That there was a feeling that is bigger than this. I kept following the sound. Where does, where will the sound lead?

As crowds keep forming around, in the centre. Then here I saw an old man.
Was looking weak. But he kept beating the drum steadily. The rhythm felt so special. Each beat seemed to tell a story. The crowd was singing.

People were dancing. Their feet were kicking. I stood up, unsure of what is happening. But I am enjoying the moment. A woman next to me was dancing and singing joyfully. Her eyes were bright. She kept nodding. I could see the passion in her eyes.
So, it was just everyone having fun in the village square. I started tapping my foot, clapping. And before I knew it, I was already passed on the circle.

As my friend dragged me, moving with strangers. Feeling, dancing. As if they are part of my family. As the drum kept beating. And those moments required no words.
But just fun, happiness. In that moment, I got the true value of being together and being united as one. And being happy always. The connection.

Showing up and letting the flow carry us all.
It's about finding that place in our heart. Even when we are scared to step forward. Although my heart keeps skipping. But I still love the circle. And our heart formed with strangers that I didn't even know. And made the best connection of my life. All I will say is, continue to beat the drum.
