Tempos Within a Heartbeat




Tempos Within a Heartbeat

Sweeter than a songbird’s tune,
the sound of your voice
calling my name.

You strum your guitar,
my heartstrings respond.

It is the making of 
a true love song.

Synchronized style of rhythm,
     tempos within a heartbeat.

Sweet spot
where life is good,
not perfect, 
but comfortable.

Life caught me 
    off guard.
I was not prepared
for you!
