Where the Heart Beats

Where The Heart Beats
________________________________(Started)_______by:  Nathan Dilts
Thump budda thump thump
Thump budda thump thump

Can you feel it beating
Faster
Always faster
Shaped just like an aster
The mitosis of an emotion
Where the notion of its motion
Travels up through my spine
Wraps around my mind
 
Thump budda budda thump thump
Thump budda budda thump thump

Can you feel it flowing
Like a diamond
That is glowing
Never knowing
Where it’s going
Always showing
What it’s growing
 _________________________________(Finish)_________by:  P.D.
Thump thump thump thump thumper
Thump thump thump thump thumper

Can you feel it changing
Rapidly emerging 
Losing its curve 
Tightening the nerve
Energy reload
Waves about to explode 
Accepting the negative
Rejecting the positive

Thump budda thump
Thump budda thump
Can you feel it fading
Melting away
Pulsing its rays
Relaxing base
Freezing phase 
Boiling down 
Drumming sound

Thump    Budda     thump 
Can you feel it dying
Losing its shine
Dim neon lite
Weak to krypton nite 
Lost of resistance
Fading existence 
Moments are bleeding
Wakening to his feeding

Thump--- bud..dha ----thuu..mp
Can you feel it dropping
My heart is stopping
My inside are not rotating
My body is the axis
My heart, I'm its universe
Faintly a flash in my chest
Trying to beat again
Crying for a chance
Slower 
pounding slower
Thum p___thuuu_____________  Stop Beating
Can not feel it the beating is gone

Yes, PD. He is hard to read!! I never know who he will choose or if I will get on his list. you and he do think a lot alike so it's easy to see why he picked yours. Congrats again.

so what are the things you used to do that you are ignoring now? My daughter in law smokes and it's irritating because she has the new baby. Even smoking during the pregnancy. But the baby seems healthy, thank heavens and I do love my daughter in law. She and Jeremy are moving FINALLY to Oregon together. she just got custody of her two kids finally and can leave Utah.

Hello P.D - what a super co-write you have here, I love how you developed the theme started by Nathan. You did a great job in speeding up and then slowing down the read in time to the beat of that heart - great stuff. Thanks for your comments on Rudolph btw ~ Sharon :)
