The heart is a metronome
In tandem with life’s flutters
Life’s irregularities
Empathy is harmonic
Simply harmonic
Back and forth
To and fro in equal measure, in rhythm
Empathy is access
Its free flow gives life
Warm red love, crimson joy
Empathy is heart
Its beats give access
Sing me a song, strike me a beat
Heart drum
In time
In good time
Heartbeats sound – lub-dub, lub-dub
Flip the chart
The new hits, numbers one and two – lub-dub
The heart is a metronome
When the beat stops
The music dies
When the heart stops
It all stops
