Thump, thump.
A heartbeat:
solid, steadfast, certain.
Thump, thump.
That ever-present rhythm:
necessary, but forgotten.
We pay no mind to such ordinary functions.
It’s just another normal beat on another normal day.
Thump, thump.
It speeds up. It slows down.
It comforts us somehow.
Lets us know we’re still alive
even though we may feel dead inside.
Thump, thump.
I grow more aware of heartbeats
with each moment that passes me by.
An entire lifetime is measured
in these simple, faithful beats.
Thump, thump.
It beats for me.
It beats for you.
It beats for a world that needs
a rhythm to dance to.
Thump, thump.
A dream pulses.
Persistent.
Hopeful.
Here.
Thump, thump.
Let your heart beat.
Let your heart dance.
Let your heart be a haven
for those lost in the storm.
Thump, thump.
It whispers so softly.
Thump, thump.
It screams so loud.
Thump, thump.
You have a purpose.
A wonderful, glorious purpose.
Yes, you are alive for a reason.
Your heartbeat declares it so.
Thump, thump.
Listen.
Hear it singing.
Your reason to go on.
Thump, thump.
Thump, thump.
Thump, thump.
