The heart beats
its steady rhythm
going unheard
by all
the lives
it
unifies with its pulse
sometimes we can
feel it
when it races
with excitement
or
in the stillness
of night
vibrating through
our being
from one moment
to the next
out
into the ether
connecting us all
providing its vessel
the strength
and will to survive
to endure
all the whims
of
frivolous indulgence
accepting the fate
it will
one day stop
cease
to exist
ending the life
the world it created
with intentions
that are pure
it
can harm
in an instant
silencing the one
it so graciously embodied
we are aware
of its power
know
that it cares
rely on its presence
until it's
no longer there.
