Poem: Heartbeats Are Simple But Powerful Things

Heartbeats Are Simple But Powerful Things

At the end of the day
we are three heartbeats
settling into sleep
in uneven rhythms.
Hand over hand over heart
it’s a simple synchronicity
that lulls me to sleep
and a certainty that
you are there
and we are here.
Soon your movements will
reverberate through
but until then I am confident
in my own pulse
echoing yours
at the end of the day.

r.l.w

I write poetry. I have collections too.

  2. Oh so lovely! I think you write beautiful poetry. One of my favourites to do with motherhood is how having a child is allowing a piece of your heart to wander around independent from you, (they made it sound much better!), and this is what your poem made me think of. Thanks for linking it up with us. #bigpinklink

  3. That’s so lovely! There’s something quite special about that quiet time just before you fall asleep, and feeling connected to the ones you love in that moment. x #KCACOLS

  4. Oh you clever girl – this literally stopped me – I am in awe of anyone who can write poetry – truly beautiful and so lovely to read something different amongst the mummy blogging posts #KCACOL

  7. So simple, yet so beautiful. The heartbeat is such an incredible thing. A steady rhythm, seemingly unimportant, yet one of the only ways you can tell one is alive. This is written so well <3 #KCACOLS
