Drum Me Your Heartbeat

Carpe Diem #193 (Cybele)


drum me your heartbeat
reverberate through my soul
let me feel your love

nurturing my soul
goddess of resurrection
mother of rebirth

  1. well done Maggie. I like how you have used the cult of Cybele in your haiku. I didn't know she was the base of Mother's Day, but I liked her story very much.

    1. She's not the base of Mother's Day...just someone I could write about a mother to/for. Thank you for liking it. I can't do "Mother's Day".

    1. When I first learned to drum (self-taught), it was suggested that the first rhythm we do is our heartbeat. That's where that comes from. Thanks so much for your wonderful comment, Jz! Made me smile.

  3. I agree with JzB, that first line is excellent but very ably supported by the lines that follow.
    The sound of the heartbeat of someone we love, just can't be beaten ;)

  4. Soul needs to be nurtured...and it is done the best and most precious way by someone who loves. Unconditionally. Beautiful, Maggie.

    1. Am wondering if you did and what it was like for you. When I went to my drumming circle we always started off with one person doing their heartbeat.

  7. Drumming your heartbeat - sounds like a wonderful way to get in touch with the place within where you can become mother to yourself - a fine place to heal and be reborn! You go girl!!Humming

    1. Self nurturing truly sucks when needed as opposed to an indulgence. But knew I had to learn to teach others as a therapist. Beautiful insight. Sometimes I forget. Thank you always for your lovely comments.
