Heart Beat

Today I placed my hand on my chest

and felt the heart beat of this world

A pulsating sensation that gave urgent meaning to our call …

As I looked across the skies

that were layered in hues of blues like the birth of my baby boy

and saturated in powerful pink like the awakening of your new born girl …

A stream of white clouds

tied a bow in the middle of our sky

A scene so enticing

it would make every mother, father, grandmother, and grandfather cry …

Seeing the mountain tops covered in snow

The sole reason to raise your head and to look up

Visualizing the Appalachian’s in the Northeast and the Alps in Europe …

Feeling the moment of the quintessential perfect day

untarnished by the outreach of mankind

A picture that was framed in the green Amazon skyline and a horizon

that only the naked eye could find …

We stepped in the soothing sand providing energy beneath our feet

A wide array of golden colors perfectly placed

A beautiful blanket is our path that brings us closer to nature and is just within our reach …

Drawing a line in the sand

Standing for our children and allowing the sky to be kissed by the shore

An embrace of global purity is what we are so desperately fighting for …

Can you hear the ever present language of this planet

as it speaks through a momentous glacial melt

The shifting of the seasons as the rising temperatures are felt …

Today I placed my hand on my chest

and felt the heart beat of this world
