shhhh!
listening to my heart beat,
shutting windows,
closing doors,
shhh!
there it is, hear it,
what if it stops, fear it,
while listening, for it,
shhhh!
there are a few things
you may not hear,
the sound of clouds
blowing near,
the sound the dew does,
when it drops clear,
the sound my body
makes as you appear,
sheer delight,
shhhh,
let's just hold onto this
while our hearts beat,
unique rhythms that,
fill the silence of this room,
our lives, this moment.
