Diastole

Even at the point of  relaxation, 
there is pressure.
Even when my thoughts wander,
my heart remains with you.

This is really a 4 line poem with breaks after commas and periods. For unknown reasons, and despite repeated attempts at editing, the Soup machine is making it a 6 line poem.

A very tender and well-written poem. I love how the simplicity of the words match the simple but powerful sentiment. Great work.
