Do you hear it?
The steady buh-bump of a heartbeat
It’s almost monotonous as it beats on and on
Sometimes, it will jump ahead and run a race for a bit
Yet, usually it’s just the faithful buh-dump that continues to march along.
All by itself
Do you hear it?
Late at night, you can hear its inner groan
As the sighs are taken and the tears are falling
Sometimes, the moan becomes a wail as eyes burst forth with life
Yet, usually it’s just the haunting sound of the broken beats
Do you hear it?
The silence is deafening, as there are no words to fix the dull aching thuds
Sometimes, the echo of the night is all that can be heard through the suffocating stillness
Yet, usually it’s just the steadfast weeping of a lonely heart.

The loneliness is so heavy.

I’m not lonely right now, but I ache for those who are. If you pray for me, I’d ask you to give thanks for all the love in my life and that I can share it with those who need it most. God bless you.
