Heart Rhythms

Who am I?

I'm that star in the sky

that remains

when all the other stars have run away

 

I'm the last raindrop

that dances on the rooftop

at the end of a stormy day

 

I'm that leaf that clings

to the tree

when the other leaves have accepted their fate

 

I'm the last second

of that minute of that hour

that urges the soul to wait

 

Who am I?

I'm that call

of the wild that renders

the roar of the lion into sacred art

 

I'm the last embrace

of the fleeting sun

before the day departs

 

I'm that note that resonates 

with your soul

before the music has a chance to start

 

I'm the last melody

that trickles into your head

and demands the first payment from your heart

 

Who am I?

If you know

You know
