Be Still My Beating Heart

Awaken to the hunger of a beating heart
The one who is yearning to love
But not love of a god
Or the love of another
But the love of life itself

Life is the simplicity of a rose
As it starts to blossom
The tears that cascade from the heavens
As the rains replenish the land

Or is it the innocence of a young child
As they meet the world for the first time
Amazed by the wonder that is life

The beauty of the sunset
As the waves crash upon the shore
Reflections of the moon shimmering across the bay
Be still my beating heart
For the stars shine in the heavens
So very far away
