Hearts beat
A repaired heart rests
dreaming unknown dreams
while etching lifelines
onto back lit screens.
The heart beats a rhythm
alarms out of tune.
His wife exhausted
asleep in the room.
Not just a an organ,
but a gentle man.
The heart has family,
and a secret plan.
His heart is renewed
but his love is old.
He'll soon celebrate
Fifty years-all gold.
Healing time over
he's taking her there.
A destination,
only he knows where.
Words will be spoken
they'll dance to their song.
She's been his heart's beat
All along.
