Staggered HeartBeats

times of uncertainty sit restless upon my mind
and I wonder how anyone can find contentment
in the unsure truth of tomorrows vague promise
when even today's ground rocks so unstable

in those moments when heartbeats stagger
and the fear of tragic possibility
trip along every fiber of my being
when blind faith can no longer
carry the pretense of a stable future

my hope turns to tears
raining down both cheeks
leaving me in that place
where I just know there's nothing
left for me to hold onto

and I feel myself giving in, letting go
falling off my mental precipice
and fading into the depths below

where I am beckoned back to sanity as
I feel the soft blades of little fingers
wrap around the tremble of mine
saying so much without speaking a word
but most of all quietly reassuring me
that everything is going to be alright

I look into his eyes and time becomes so pure
unadulterated ....just like him
and I pull him into my lap
wrapping my arms around him

and life's unyielding grasp loosens
my soul calms reclaiming some sort of peace
and my tears are replaced
with my once waning hope-renewed

and there I lose myself
in the smile dancing in his eyes
and my heartbeat rights itself
as I find my stance once again
within the simple wonders
of this uncertain, tragic
and yet, beautiful world
