Listen

Listen to my heart beat; 
hear the echo of your own. 
Feel each pulse as it courses through my being 
giving life anew where there was none. 

Listen, 
 
Hear my breath 
as it whispers from my lips 
sighing out your name. 

Listen, 
 
hear me breathe you in, 
and as my breath leaves me, 

listen 
 
as it calls your name again.
