One Beat Left

by Michael J Falotico

                                                        Two hearts ripped apart..
                                                With just a one threaded string left..
                                                            Still only one beat..
                                                    





writing from the past makes
    me appreciate today..

Sometimes what we learn from the past makes the present so much better in that we can appreciate where we are and where we are going...Glad that you saw the humor in my work about "The Nightmare"..Sara

That threaded string is like an umbilical cord that never completely goes away, Michael. I'm glad you've found happiness now. Wrote so many poems long ago about my husband after he died. Now I try to focus on the future. Blessings and love always to you, dear friend. If I could cross my toes, I would. That's part of the nerve damage problem. Lots of numbness and some pain as well. I'll let you know how things go after the MRI. Thanks for your good wishes, Carolyn

Thank you Michael, for your wonderful comment . And the very heart felt poem. That one last heart beat is the one that matters, It's the loudest heart beat of them all and the one that holds your hand close to your heart. Just to feel that one that hangs in there.. Thanks for sharing.. this wonderful thought,..p.d.
