Heart Sounds (Poem)

Written by

This is not my heart only

It is yours and yours and yours

The sighing rhythm of the world interrupted

The anguished catch in a singer’s wail

The mournful drone of a cello’s tuning

I do not nor ever would keep these hidden

I throw them out to join the circulatory swirl

Let you hear what I hear

For I have heard your voices also

With every joy every sorrow every soaring song

Echoing in my dreams and we are never alone

The rain on the grass the wind in the leaves

We raise our heads to the sky for a glimpse of the sun

The beat the ebb the flow the beat the ebb the flow

On and on and on in us all
