Pulse

Manjushri by Bill Kane

Manjushri by Bill Kane

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.
