Analysis of Heartbeat



I cherish, am thrilled - unaware of my thumping heartbeat!
This is my moment, my diamond
Not to wear or spare,
But to feel within
Exulted power of omnipotence and happiness
Of body’s delight
Merged in the pleasant, the good, the beautiful,
Sense dramatically, all rolled into one
Simultaneous!
All tentacles, all feeling, alert
Live alert as I radiate my six senses
Immersed in life’s sensations
Within - I sing silent and loud
I share the living world!
I must be here
For me - for you - for all mankind
For I do love the sun’s warm rays
I love my friends. I love you!
Yes, my son – aged, I feel well
Were God to extinguish my last breath soon
I’d shout that this, and every moment, is the greatest
Allowed by the majestic divinity
