The Heartbeat of the Cosmos
The heartbeat of the cosmos
like the ticking of the clock,
the pounding of a pulsar
and sounds that never stop.
A waterfall, a bouncing ball
a bird upon a limb,
whose chirping sounds, we find profound
like Icarus in the wind.
And ocean waves that roll away
and break on distant shores,
the cry of whales, the sigh of sails
or knocking on a door.
The swirls and twirls of galaxies
and tornadoes through the skies,
hurricanes and volcano flames
that rise and come alive.
Like the moon that’s bound to its earthly crown
and the gift of falling rain,
a Mystery moves this universe
and the blood inside our veins…
the pulsing of our own heartbeat
no less than that of stars,
connecting us to love and trust
no matter just
how far.
