The Song Born at Night
From the notes written within the heart

---

The seeds of my heart begin to grow,
A steady beat keeps the nutrients flowing,
From the roots that drink at the bottom of my heart,
A fruit of melody forms—a new song takes its start.

When the moon is bright as the day sky,
And Mother Night announces the birth of a child,
Oh, come out and play, little one,
Let the elders sing you into the sun.

A flute’s pure delight, the Harper’s son,
Drums strike faster, like gas to a flame,
The talking drum begins to speak,
And the shekere shakes to greet the name.

Feet of the children lift off the ground,
Spines bend slight as dances flow free,
Smiles bloom bright on every face,
As music sets their hearts alight.

The night beholds the great light from the sky,
The tune ushers in the newborn’s cry,
And the dancers’ feet grow cold with dew,
But we carry the melody down to our dreams—true.
