Heartbeat

Lying on the bed in the dark
You see no light – not a spark
Nothing is moving, nothing’s alive

You feel that you may not survive…
But then you hear it – that loud beat
Serenity engulfs you – you now feel complete…

Your heart talks to you, it makes you calm down
You listen amazed to that marvelous sound
Once…Twice…Again and again
It is a feeling you cannot explain
As long as it speaks and you care to hear
Despair and fear will never come near…
