Heartbeat Poem by Elina Vederis

Another sunset, passed without you;
But the world keeps moving
The ferris wheel turns,
My heart beat keeps going-
With heartache it burns.

The wind continues blowing,
The sun comes up shining,
But all I can hear
Is my heart's worthless chiming.

My lover is not near;
My smile fades away.
For life without you,
Is like another lifeless day.

The guilt keeps on tugging
At my hardened, filthy heart,
And I realize that without you,
My life is falling apart.

I look to the cross-
For forgiveness I pray.
Give me a second chance,
Give me a marvelous day.

My heart beats a melody;
I hear the birds sing.
And the beautiful sunrise
Makes my heart ring.

Life comes anew
With colors so bright.
My heart flames with fire,
Like a flickering light.

You've changed my heart
And captured it aflame
And now, my life,
Is not a worthless game.

The world keeps going;
The ferris wheel turns,
My heart beat keeps going-
With God's love it burns.
