Beat Still My Heart
Beat Still My Heart Beat still my heart, Beat still my mind, Weary though thou art, Carry his love along with thine, Though heavy on thy shoulders Crost fields throughout all time. In the deepest dark of the bleakest night, If light there be, then dark shuts it out. Around you all is swirling, Hurtling backwards now through time, A hellish hue stricken each his years When here on earth 'twas mine. Deeply within that starless darkest night, Go deeper yet still darker, Oceans depth to oceans wide. Galaxies wide careening, Spilling insides outside in, To release thy soul still screaming, Clasping hands and heart to his. Body, mind, soul, rough and ragged, Weeping tears falling still throughout time, Carrying weight of mourning and grieving Falling broken when thou wert mine. © Beth Brown, 2022
