AN EMPTY DRUM THAT STILL BEATS

An Empty Drum That Still Beats brings together twenty-one poems shaped by memory, feeling, and quiet reflection. Written over twenty-one days, these poems speak gently of love, loss, time, music, and the small moments that stay with us as life moves on. The voice is calm, thoughtful, and deeply human, carrying the wisdom of years lived and observed. Like the drum of the title, the poems may seem simple at first, but they hold a steady rhythm and an enduring warmth. This book invites readers to pause, listen, and recognise the rhythms that stay with us, even as time moves on.
