Another poem inspired by linocut by Billy Mandindi titled ‘Happy flute player’
The flute of life
Tuned with experience
Resounds
Perfectly pitched to the listening ear
We are beguiled as by the piper of Hamlin
To keep in step
Drumming heartbeats
Pattering footfalls
Thundering thoughts
Tinkling tears
Pealing laughter
In sync; out of sync
We twirl, glide, wiggle, bounce, jiggle, stomp
To the flute of life.
