Njeri Hunjeri Poet Free verse

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

Richard Lamoureux June 26, 2015 at 9:04 AM Good advice. I enjoyed your poem. Njeri Hunjeri June 28, 2015 at 12:16 AM Thank you Rick. Be blessed

Hannington Mumo June 26, 2015 at 5:25 AM 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++ Njeri Hunjeri June 26, 2015 at 5:39 AM Thank u so much Hannington. I appreciate the comment. Be blessed

Kp Nunez June 26, 2015 at 4:30 AM Ah Njeri, you write such sensible poems you remind me of old souls. But you have the heart and body of the young! Enjoy life's journey, my dear. hugs! Njeri Hunjeri June 26, 2015 at 4:37 AM That is very kind of you to say that. I am honoured. Thank u Kim and be blessed

Julia Ward June 26, 2015 at 4:28 AM Thanks, njeri. "The devil is in the detail", as they say. Njeri Hunjeri June 26, 2015 at 4:29 AM Yes. Thank u again Julia

Julia Ward June 26, 2015 at 3:54 AM Nice, but I would have put "your blessings" rather than "those blessings" which rather begs the question. Njeri Hunjeri June 26, 2015 at 4:04 AM Nice observation. It does sound better with ''your'' than with "those". I will change it. Thank you Julia
