The Heartbeat

 


In quiet depths where my currents begin,

I turn without pause, a ceaseless spin.

A cycle of pressure, decree of my own—

A rhythm within you, yet not yours alone.


From silence, I spark, I kindle your flame,

Fibers awaken at whisper of name.

I contract with grace, concentric and true,

Carrying the gift of life into you.


Each beat I give is a pledge, a vow:

Treasure this moment, live fully now.

Do not forget, while I hold the line,

Your days are fleeting, yet wholly divine.


My valves are your teachers, steadfast, wise—

They open with trust, they close with ties.

So guard your choices, let love be the gate,

For hesitation too long may arrive too late.


Through chambers of shadow, through chambers of light,

I send my currents, both day and night.

Learn from my labor—unceasing, unseen—

Strength is found steady, not always keen.


A graph may reveal my hidden song,

Lines rising, falling, where pulses belong.

But numbers and charts cannot capture it all,

The wonder of rising each time you fall.


Though delicate, I am powerful, profound;

When I falter, life comes unbound.

So hear me, humanity—heed my art:

Cherish connection, for I am your heart.
