baDUM .... baDUM .... baDUM
She strode around the circle
baDUM .... baDUM .... baDUM
"This is the heartbeat"
baDUM .... baDUM .... baDUM
"You don't have to copy it,
fly as high as you want,
but the heartbeat is here
( baDUM )
to keep us all together."
baDUM .... baDUM .... baDUM
baDUM .... baDUM .... baDUM
We join in
Deep and resonant
sharp and staccato
long and slow
hard and fast
All the drums,
all the rhythms
following the heartbeat that ties us.
Softly,
then loud.
Louder,
faster.....faster
Then silence.
Save the heartbeat.
baDUM .... baDUM .... baDUM
Always the heartbeat.
Sharp cry of children,
a deep booming voice,
soft flutter of the wings,
and the piercing cry of the hawk.
Banging of the hammers,
whining of the saw,
reving of the motors,
honking of the horns,
blaring of the stereos,
t.v.'s
radios,
telephones,
The sounds of our lives are all around us.
Only in the silence can we hear
baDUM
The heartbeat.
baDUM
Always the heartbeat
baDUM
that ties us.
baDUM .... baDUM .... baDUM .... baDUM
Save the Heartbeat.

It's refreshing to read a poem that isn't proclaiming how much the world sucks. I like the style, I feel as if I'm in a coffee shop listening to it. Makes me want a latte really bad. LOL, jk. I love it
