Heart pounding
to the sounds and rhythms
of the earth below my feet;
the warmth of it pressing against
the inside of my chest
breathing new life into the
river of blood that flows on by…

Heart pounding
with the pulse of clarity
that has waited within the struggle;
the tingle of it resonates out to
the tips of my fingers and toes
stretching energy to the places
that touch the souls of all others…

Heart pounding
as I walk the earth with my newfound
understanding;
hand-in-hand with the Truth of Love
step-by-step with the Joy of Faith
forever entwined in the Beauty of Hope…

Heart pounding
with life newer than it was this morning
with faith stronger than it was when I started writing
with love wider than it has ever been in all the universe…
