Heartbeats

It takes just one encounter

Each heartbeat will be a joyful saunter

One look through the door

We drop the mind of yore

Dripping with love through every pore

Making the world a peaceful shore

One heart, a powerful engine

There isn’t need for other protection

Every heartbeat opens the door

There is no fear as before

When the warm flame of awareness

Burns the imprints of the selfish

Becoming the guest of a heartbeat

Allows the mind to rest on a seat

When legs become sprightly once again

Heartbeats won’t go in vain
