Heartbeat

Sunlight sways steadily Along the edges of the petals Of the sweet flower encircled by thorns Dancing in the breeze kissed with melancholy flavors Carried away by the skin of the whispering clouds In a swift and strong movement the world spins in sequence All living things moving to the rhythm of her heartbeat Linked in an intricate and delicate system of breath and death Every minuscule piece of the puzzle weaved into a masterpiece A beautiful, complex work of art that we call living Everything making contact with another As a trembling leaf is caressed slowly By the tendril of an angel’s hair With glistening stars for eyes
