The Rhythm of a Heartbeat
Life…
Is the breath
Of a single beat
A thump in the chest
Repeat, repeat
It…
Is a simple action
Yet, oh so important
Giving freely,
With no reservation.
Judgement…
What is that?
The heart may ask,
As it moves from one
Heartbeat to the next.
My…
Job is to preserve
And keep the movement
Alive, making sure
Everything works together
Inside.
Am…
I, not the reason
You see a sunrise,
On the horizon
A beautiful surprise?
Or…
The mechanism with
A steady beat,
Sometimes my rhythm
Speeds up with fast feet.
Excitement…
Fear, joy and emotional
Heights,
Will create
An adrenalin,
Flight or fight?
Sometimes…
I am impacted by
Other devices,
The mind provides
Thinking which
Comes in many slices.
Welcomes…
The natural flow
In and out I go.
The breath brings
Oxygen to the lungs.
Traveling…
Along the highway
Towards the brain,
Each beat of the drum.
Can…
You hear the whisper
Of the soft swish, swish
Reminding you of
Each meandering wish
The…
Rhythm of a heartbeat
Can bring another day
Beyond the prayers
I wish I might,
I wish I may.
In…
The stillness with
Eyes closed,
My beat continues
The end, no one knows.
Live…
Each day in the rhythm
Of flow
Matching the heartbeat
Wherever it goes.
Embracing…
With outreached
Hands,
A calm in the storms,
With strength, it stands.
The…
Gentle rise of the chest
Up and down,
Mimicking life
Going around and around.
Do…
Not forsake the importance
Of living in harmony,
A heartbeat,
Love the destination,
I think we can all agree.
Your lively words breathe hope and a prayer for all in this musing, Eileen.

Everything works together
Inside………This is great. In one simple statement it ties everything together. Thank you Eileen
Glad you like this Larry! Cheers!
My friend Eileen is proficient in the delicate art of getting others to disclose themselves.
I like how you say “the delicate art.” Knowing the self and becoming vulnerable with strength is an art in the dance of life. Being authentic and revealing who we are at the core is a gift, one that can be nurtured and raised to higher heights. Cheers!
