Be still and listen to the beat of your heart.
Is it the persistent percussion
Of stress,
Exertion?
Or the slow church tower chime
Of calm?
If you listen to your breath,
In. Out.
And how it matches the cadence
Of the blood
Pumping through
Arteries and veins,
You catch a glimpse
Of the miracle that is
Life.
