Even if my bright heartbeat is riddled in darkness, am I not life?

Yes, you are life even co-existing with the darkness. One little candle lighted is better than no light at all. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for visiting my page. Sara

A powerful question you present us with in this fine Monoku, Hiya. If there is a heart beat, there is life, and a light within. So many metaphor possibilities in your poem, my friend. The reader has the choice. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

You've evoked a keen sense of sadness, questioning the universe if you are life, but uplifting as well, because you're also proclaiming a statement, that you are life itself. Compelling. makes for a great quote as well, Hiya. I can't keep up! Great poetry xoxo

Dear beautiful angelic star, you are so young but you have seen so much of the world, and you are wise beyond your years! And i must remind you, you are life, you are alive, you mean so much more than any darkness around you, riddled in darkness your heartbeat may be, but you are more than all that which may be challenging! You are stronger than you know! Keep shining always! Love this powerful monoku! Well delivered! Goodluck for the contest
