Heartbeat
O eternal presence, hold me close
Upon this clearborn festive night
it surges, inviting me in
I look away
community beckons
I feel it, undulations
on my back
electric waves
thunder
purring
beating
cannot deny
pulse of the river
solace of the ages
ancient rhythm
vibrant blanket around me
threaded through me, and
you
and you
yes all of you
heartbeat of the infinite
cannot deny
it wants me
and you
to just
listen.
