Hearts Blood

The world’s heart beats in sync with mine
The ebb and flow of hearts blood
Racing with the wind along the canyon walls
Rise on eagle’s wings to chase shadows across the landscape
Walking the edge of the way the world is supposed to be
Just to be alive
Gone
Off to places where the deep drum roll of the earth can be heard and felt
Through the soles of bare feet
Dancing to the song of the stars
Through the fire and ice of the Northern sky
Laughing
Joining the crash of the waves on rocky coasts
Incessant rhythm of the sea
At once raging and calm
Alone but never lonely
Dance
Together with the voices of the mountains
Responding to the music in the world
Singing, tingling beat pulsing in your blood
Fierce joy in simply being alive
Fire and ice
To be one of a thousand reflections from a frozen blade of grass
Shattering the sky into tiny fragments of light
Running
Faster and faster, wolves with nose to the wind
Sharp air and scent and life
Together as one with the pack, we are the clan
Pointing heads to the sky and blending voices
Chorus of howls receding into a heartbeat
Pulsing through the eagle’s veins
Giving strength to my wings
Soaring
Screaming defiance into the sky
And sensing the many harmonies on the breeze
Skimming over the mountains on invisible rivers
Of air
Listening to silence
The heartbeat of the world is in my heartbeat
The rhythm is in my heart’s blood
Just listen
