Ann Gilmour Poet Rhyme

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

Caren Krutsinger March 25, 2019 at 4:24 AM You have done so much in four mere lines, Ann. Wow! My heart is beating rather fast right now myself. Ann Gilmour March 25, 2019 at 4:48 AM 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
