The Heart’s Song by Suzanne Allen

It beats in a steady rhythm.

Deep sounds of a gentle hum.

Waiting for the echo.

The heartbeat of another one.

Each day the sound is silent.

Vacant, no return.

The heart continues its song.

Aching from its yearn.

One day the song will cease.

No longer will it make its plea.

The life will have grown old.

The song just a memory.
