The Heartbeat of a House

Letras:

The heartbeat of a house,
with its watchful eye,
its quiet, a reminder
to sit still,
listen,
and savor.

Don't think ahead,
don't look behind,
just be still
in the moment,
and feel, feel
what's going on around you.

The pace of a tired clock,
the house sighing as it settles
after a long day of sitting,
the wind wheezing
through the window pane.

And the even churn
of my own breath
as it reminds me
that I'm still going,
still trying.
still here.
