heartbeat

have you ever heard
a heart beat
stop
have you ever been in a room
when someone
takes their last
breath
have you ever heard
the sound of a infant
still in the mothers womb
the pounding
of life
it echoes of joy
these sounds
they go hand in hand
life and death
death and life
both are beginnings
just of different paths

i'll never forget the sound of life 

nor of death
