MY  HEART
ON AND ON AND ON

 

The waves kept coming –

non-stop – some days

bigger and louder than others.

 

Obviously - there was no ON-OFF

button.  I knew I had to accept

them living here at the ocean.

 

I could see them – every day –

but I didn’t realize till lately –

it’s the same with my heart.

 

It keeps beating – beating

non-stop – whether I

notice it or not.

 

Trouble is – my heart can’t

compare with the ocean. Unlike

the ocean, it’s slowly slowing down.
