I Will Play My Drum

Updated: Mar 31

(((∞))) 



If you want to

listen to my heart

yet you cannot

then play your drum

in front of the All

let your rhythms 

find me

amongst the many

I will hear yours


If you want to

renew me

with food you create

yet you cannot

then cook n prepare

for the All

let your fired spices

fill the air n find me

amongst the many

I will smell you


If you want to

heal me

yet you cannot

then make your salve

for the All

let your craft 

n medicine find me

amongst the many

I will pray for you


If you want 

to give me refuge 

yet you cannot

then make room

for the All

let your sanctuary 

hold space

for friends n family

I will be your sentinel


If you want 

to touch my skin

yet you cannot

then dance

in front of the All

let your breeze find me

amongst the many

I will feel you


If I want

to listen to your heart

yet cannot 

I will play my drum

in front of the All

I will know yours


I will hear you

I will smell you

I will pray for you

I will be your sentinel

I will feel you

I will know you

Mevlana = Bahramji & Mashti- NEY.


In truth everything and everyone

Is a shadow of the Beloved,

And our seeking is His seeking

And our words are His words...

We search for Him here and there,

...while looking right at Him.

Sitting by His side, we ask:

'O Beloved, where is the Beloved?


~ Rumi

It still feels weird for me to receive any kind of credit for the words you provide the AI that lead to such fascinating images. I will graciously accept it nonetheless, because you wisely noted that the words we’ve exchanged played a role in making it possible, and I appreciate the gesture.


For my part, I’d also like to express gratitude by sharing some of that credit with all the artists and creators for their part in humanity’s corpus of art that expresses our culture, traditions, and legacy. The AI learned from them. They make it possible for people to make visual art with words.
