Moment by moment
Relentless the melody held inside
Unnoticed the place of isolation
Softly beckons me to come and abide
A quickening of glory
A sudden expectation
Imprisoned
Sometimes
I feel it
Aware
Of my mortality
Every beat
Every breath
Every breeze
Feel my pulse
Sense my pain
Time is short
Sit and exhale
The breath of God
Fire so sweet
Close my eyes
Fear retreat
Electricity stirring
My heartbeat

Hi Alan,
Oh my, this was truly wonderful. So much said with one word on a line. My favorite was “The breath of God, Fire so sweet”. I think that we sometimes just tune out our heartbeat and you have written why we should listen to it.
Thanks for sharing this for our Theme Thursday Rhythm week. It truly is a very rhythmic poem for this weeks prompt. Hope your are having a restful weekend and taking care of your heart.
God bless.
Love the way it reads like a heartbeat. Nice one.
