An abstract Painting which portrays a Goddess Playing an Ancestral Flute.                   Play around me the Ancestral Melody, the tunes that break the hardened
rocks of a giant mountain.
Play aloud on the wave pipes
from one turbulent ocean of might.
Hear not me that music
but I hear a melody of an african bamboo
flute from an ancient hill afar
and its tune melts my heart and soul,
and the same song, a new dawn
borrowed for its day to play
around when the clouds of thunder
and lightening faded from its burden of sorrows.
Play around me, that Ancestral Melody. Symbol on the cloth of woman is Ghanaian Ancestral symbol called "nkonsonkonson"(Chain Links), which signifies Unity and togetherness, the spirituality of music.
