If my heart ceases to beat
Cold in now lifeless body
It must continue to spin

The red blood cloak of the awakening  sunrise
Its coming golden rays shower the skies
With its radiant beauty
Whether blood courses or not
Eyes wide open or shut

The tide will go in and out
Poseidon's salty colored waves
Roll in wild reckless abandon
Foamy lace covered dancers


The lady moon sits high in the sky
I never question why
Simply accept she is there
Queen on her throne
With grace and royalties air

If I refuse to take breath
Or care not to rise from my bed
Emotions fragile and churning
My heart ceases to beat
In cold body
The world will not stop turning
