Who's upstairs Beating the clouds like bongos Cracking the air On the snare Whose sweat is dripping down on me Whose sound is turning up on me Who rock shocked my power pole down Who left me in the dark To find myself in the Universe's heart Asking us To come out of the slums Come out of the slumber Wake up People Says the thunder

I love this poem, especially the following lines, for several reasons:
"Who left me in the dark To find myself in the Universe's heart Asking us To come out of the slums Come out of the slumber Wake up People Says the thunder"
1) I am a drummer, and I'm digging not just the imagery but the sounds I hear from this.
2) I love thunderstorms, so I am accessing the emotions that I get when it's raining like that, and they are cozy.
3) My other reasons (1 & 2) where more about form. But this third reason is about the content. I can't explain how this makes me feel, but it's kind of like I feel the need to shout "AMEN" but also I feel you are holding out your hand.
4) The universe does have a heart, and it is the totality of OUR hearts....
