The Welcome Beat

Last night I had the strangest dream so threatening and so dark I saw Grim Reaper at my door with nothing positive to impart Panic gripped, my chest was tight, determined to fight with all my might Then I awoke with such a start to the welcome beat of my living heart Written 25th March 2019 Contest: Writing Challenge 5 March 19 Four lines Sponsor: Dear Heart 2nd place Contest: APRIL 2019 PREMIER 2, ANY FORM,ANY THEME, UPTO A MAX OF 5 (FIVE)LINES Sponsor:Brian Strand

You have done so much in four mere lines, Ann. Wow! My heart is beating rather fast right now myself.

Thanks Caren, it just came to me in an instant, but I am glad to hear your heart is beating, albeit a little faster than normal. It is a glorious sunny spring day here in the UK, the sort of day one feels so glad to be alive. Kindest thoughts Ann xx
