The Rhythm Of Your Heart | A Poem

Sometimes I wish that I could write a song.

I wish that I could match what I feel

To the beautiful rhythm of my beating heart.

Music is all around us,

Sometimes we hear it blowing in on a sweet autumn breeze,

And other times we hear it through the laughter of a mountain brook.

If we take the time to listen,

In those few moments when our lives aren't so loud,

We can hear the music resonating

With each gentle breath we take.

We can feel it when our gaze meets,

And taste it when our lips meet others.

Sometimes the melodies we create,

Can become intertwined

Through a longing embrace.

For the briefest of moments,

Heart strings become tangled,

One soul woven with the other.

And the vibrant heart pounding melody created,

Is one of beautiful contentment.

A tapestry of song which has the power,

To transcend the boundaries of time itself.

And carry two souls together from one life,

On into the next.

Next time you feel the stillness of your life,

The quiet moment you feel your heart

Yearning for it's song to be felt,

Draw a long steady breath and listen,

Listen to the music of your soul,

And know, that somewhere,

Out there among the spheres,

There is a soul that longs to write music

Upon your beating heart,

Matching the rhythm you already make.
