A New Beat
my heart was hidden
neath a veil of silence
a billion beats were never heard
until one day a perfect light
pierced a tiny hole in its core
and tear by tear
by tear by tear
the silence slowly dripped away
exposing a void that needed filling
with something joyous, new, alive
now music fills my reborn heart
spilling forth an impassioned calypso
inspiring my dormant spirit to dance
my slumbered soul to sing
and my heart to keep a new beat
