Heartsong
Veins pumping blood
While my heart keeps the beat
Put on my shoes
Pick up my feet
Place each one upon the street
Pick them up
Put them down
Then repeat
Soon I'm walking
Upon the earth
Atop this man-made layer
Of cold concrete
Continuing 'til I stop
Where the earth
And water meet
Veins pumping blood
As my heart pounds the beat
Continuing 'til it stops
'Til it loses the beat
'Til the man above decides
That my heartsong is complete
