 Absorbed in familiar rhythms by Ivan Donn Carswell 
						Absorbed in familiar rhythms, carillon of senses steeped
 in good vibrations, surrounded
 by musical beat
 pulsing potently
 in avidly articulated veins,
 moving heated blood
 faultlessly, delivering its purity
 into a reservoir of deep power,
 preserving a cadence of fractured drumbeat
 accurately with timeless
 ocean sounds wound effortlessly
 in an eager counterpoint,
 breathing a relaxed  coda,
 witnessing a rhythmic inspiration,
 all tolling the same true song.
 Feet tap to the old tunes,
 fingers rap common themes
 as the words roll free
 in schematic indignation.
 These are scenes driven
 by racing guitars pouring
 the sounds of the surf
 back into my soul,
 beating anxiously alongside my heart,
 renewing my energies.
