Heart Beat

In A string of moments
Everything changes;
Everything moves.
 
Glowing and fading, 
Sleeping and waking,
Giving and taking,
Loving and hating...
 
We are living
And learning
And breathing.
 
Seeking the solidarity
Of Truth -
We take each shaky step
On sinking sand
In this wasteland of
Shifting shadows.
 
Knowledge entreats us - 
"onward, Soldiers!!
You have come;
You will see -
You must conquer!
There is a horizon to discover."
 
To the heart-beat of time, we march;
Never pausing,
Never resting,
As the pulse of reality
Beats rhythmically,
 
In
And out.
 
In,
And out.
 
In...
And out;
 
In glorious radiance,
The horizon appears - 
Flooding the land with light.
And we are engulfed
In brightness 
For a moment.
 
Transfixed with wonder,
We collide
Like Dominoes,
In silence and s l o w   m o t  i  o   n,
Electrified with the
Triumph of experience.
 
Rippling the silence
In muffled echoes -
Time keeps pace with existence.
 
Beating, beating;
Building - pulsing -
It thunders, CRASHING!
breaking in our ears,
Until they are ringing.
 
And suddenly, the light is behind us.
The beginning 
has become an ending,
And we walk with a million memories,
Forward.
 
Sleeping and waking,
Giving and taking,
Glowing and fading... 

We Are

Learning and Living
