Keep Your Heart Beating

There is no doubt that love is the greatest of all But it matters how small or big you give it There is no doubt that love keeps the rhythm going But it matters how you conduct it It matters what tune you play It matters what strings you pull or not pull Keep your heart beating no matter where the winds take you Wake up to the comforting sunrise And in the evenings, sit and watch the sunset Or just take a glimpse, your eyes storing that beauty With time or without time, Keep the love song beating With high current or low current, Keep the pulses strong The gathering clouds may seem frightening But keep your head up high, breathe the air without fear The mediocre seat may seem warming But keep going, striving for the best Keep your heart beating And as you do, continue to count your blessings

'But it matters how you conduct it It matters what tune you play It matters what strings you pull or not pull'...That pretty much says it all Njeri...Much insight and wisdom on display throughout and thanks for getting my day off to a good start! - Tim

A wonderfully crafted piece of art. Although it is without lexical rhyme, the emotional rhyme scheme of the thoughts herein is mind-soothing. One of your excellent poems, but according to me, it is the best you have ever written...7++

Nice, but I would have put "your blessings" rather than "those blessings" which rather begs the question.

Nice observation. It does sound better with ''your'' than with "those". I will change it. Thank you Julia
