OF LIVING AND LOVING... AND COPING...: The Rhythm of My Soul

26 April 2011

The Rhythm of My Soul

alone

in the dark

my heart beats

a nagging rhythm

a wordless song

of love and longing

deep, intense, immense

revealing my soul's passion

yearning for connection

perhaps a song from

distant shore

can lull me

to sleep
