Pulse
By V. Alexandra de F. Szoenyi
I search for you in the darkness
A soothing rhythm under the veil of anxiety
A reminder that life goes on
even if I’m stuck in this moment
Beat, beat, beat
Repeat
Beat, beat, beat
Repeat
As loud as a drum
Waves in the ocean
Breath in my lungs
Reminding me to live
Take a deep breath,
count calming numbers,
think about happiness
This too shall pass.
