Traditional Korean Drum and Dance

The beat
The rhythm
Cut through the cold morning
Drawn in natural attraction
Like metal to magnet
The drum
The colors
Captured the eyes
Caused limbs to move in time
Watching the lightness
of their feet moving
in syncronicity
with the drum
the rhythm
the movement of their brothers
Like dancing on air
Heads turning
Heads bobbing
White ribbon waving
Cutting through the air
The beat
The rhythm
Intensifying faster
Spinning
Turning
White flashing
Color bursting
Feet on air
