Heartbeat

Eloy


a sun going down i'd like to capture 
in painting or song the motion and mood 
a sky i would steal if it could be held fast 
the wind dies away it's perfectly still 
you can't exceed that kind of sundown 
harmony's beautiful heartbeat of earth 
it's so smooth and still it's so restless 
concentration beginning and end 

rising! breathing! gleaming! heart! 
rising! breathing! gleaming! heart! 

the moon rising high light in the darkness 
creating a gleam you can't really grasp 
somehow unreal both tempting and scaring 
indistinct phase vague and reserved 
you can't eclipse that kind of moonrise 
mellow magical heartbeat of earth 
it's so slow and still it's so restless 
steadily taking it's course 

rising! breathing! gleaming! heart! 

sound of a heartbeat 
stable and certain: Life! 
breath of a new day 
welcomed in wonder 

rising! breathing! gleaming! heart! 
rising! breathing! gleaming! heart! 
rising! breathing! gleaming! heart! 
rising! breathing! gleaming! heart!
