The Rhythm Search

©Jennifer Paige

There beats a heart inside my chest
That has yet to find a rhythm
Inconsistently
It pounds though the darkness
Searching for a rhythm to call its own

Sometimes, in the quiet of deep sleep I hear
My heart pick up a rhythm
Dreaming
And only dreams of you
Could cause this pattern to evolve within

In the day I am surrounded by rhythms
Of people I know and love
Never
Are they perfect for me
They are always too slow or too fast

But whenever I'm around you
I am suddenly at peace
Perfect
Your heartbeat and mine
The rhythm search does cease
