Listen To Your Heart

Listen to your heart That beats upon your drum. Listen to its beating That resounds in a steady hum. Listen to the life force That surges forward on its course. Listen to the whispers That utter secrets of misery and remorse. Listen to the pain That shouts out horrible cries. Listen to the emotion That moans pitiful sighs. Listen to the heart’s command That scolds us in reproach. Listen to the delicacy of the heart That shatters into pieces like glass. Listen to the footsteps That dance with joy in the heart. Listen to the temple gong That resounds in waves from the heart. Listen to the voices of the heart That sing, oh but how they sing. Listen to the heart strings That play a mournful tune. Listen to the tears The heart will shed over the years. Listen to the heart that breaks Now on the mend for its own sake. Hello heart, My companion and friend, You are with me to the end. To the very last beat, As I walk down the street. When I lay down to rest, One last time, Never to get up again, I will listen to my heart, As it gives itself away.
