Church bells toll
pipe organ keys resonate
the drums keep beat
let the music begin
smoke rises up
with the sun sinking
the skies darken
let the night reign
the fire burns
the night away
the moon climbs the sky
let the dances begin
shadows play around
the orange of the light
within the beat of the night
within the beat of the night
the heart sings by firelight
dance and be marry in the night
the church bells toll
organ keys resonate
the drums keep beat
the drums keep beat

Not sure
I have experienced similar surroundings. It was a parking lot, outside a venue. Grateful Dead, Phish, The Further Festival, The Great Went. Spirituality is all where you find it. Music moves the mind and gets things started but can also mesmerize. Ancient tribes sat in circles beating drums but probably had no pipe organs. I do not know. What I found spiritual outside those concerts also might be my disconnect from reality imposed by certain substances.
Favorite passage from this piece:
within the beat of the night
the heart sings by firelight
dance and be marry in the night
good write, good night...

Thank you. I had an old monastery in mind, it's on a little island by the mountains in Europe.
