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!
