This Heart

This heart always beats.
It always has, though never to the rhythm of a passionate drum.
For stone has no rhythm,
Stone cannot dance,
It simply bides it’s time,
Eroding till only a fragment of a once vast rock face remains.
A mere pebble is no lump of coal.
It hasn’t the strength to power such a large vessel as this one,
Though it tries
Its pitiful vibration sends only minute wisps of air through hollow chambers.
Deposits of dust lay dormant.
The shift of a single grain is not enough to sweep this desert.
But this heart still beats.
