HEARTBEATS

One heart beats alone
A hope untried, unknown.
It beats hunger,
It beats thirst.
It grows stronger
Than the curse
Of dying.

One heart beat of home
Its seed is dead still unsown.
It beats longing,
It beats breath.
It is a dawning
Beyond the death
And dying.

One heart beats its dream.
Sets it out upon life's steam.
It beats lonely,
It beats pain.
It cries only
To love again
It's beloved.

One heart beat its echo
To the only rhythm it knows.
It beats answer,
It beats substance.
Its beat follows
A Divine dance
And rapture.
