Griot
Masters of sound
not just history...
of past pain and glory
for times worse or better
talking books, tenders of visions
memory minders
keepers of calendars ...of souls
signalling... where what who how
when called upon called upon to bear witness
not only recreate reflections
not just lament to represent
to call aside, perpetuate signs
relay perspectives
address minds/times
To reconnect/resurrect
lost signals of/from the Creator
A frog sings ...from across the pond
another answers...
remember ...back
