The Voices of the Batá

This poem sets an interesting mood Gypsy Red.

Nice write....Tum Tuum Tuum Tum!

Then I have done my job if you can perceive vibe that birthed this piece, thanks for the comment Strider.

Seems like a form/way to induce a trance state.

Love the picture and unique write you have penned here Gypsy. :)

So happy you liked it Magda, yes it is a way to do exactly that to commune with Loas/Saints.Thanks for stopping by.

Peace

Fess up, what spices are you cooking with? You've tapped a vein of ooh and aah.

Silly lolololol the spices are... cumin, coriander, oregano, and sweet paprika woo hoo! Can ya smell the creol cookin!Thanks Mr.Ken for the great comment.lolol

It's a poetically nicety/honesty that you use the word "Voices," for there are many, but where do they lead?  To dancing?  With or without whom?  To integrated internal states?  That's wonderful, if correct, but not enough.  You have a powerful poetical style and your drawing is beyond repute.  To put them both together is a display (a seeing) of what your poem (a wording) is displaying.

I invite you to Google the Batá drums, In this context it is absolutely correct to say "voices" as there is always three and it is believed they each posses a spirit, and therefor deserve respect, as for the dance it is not what you define as a social dance, it is as I said in the last stanza a "living prayer to the loas."
 
Thank you for reading, commenting.
