Beating Heart

John Prophet

Beating heart.
Pulsing,
echoing,
beating
heart.
Puthump
Pathumb.
Rhythmic.
Reverberating
deep into
forever.
Civilizations.
Pulsing,
convulsing.
Pushing
waves.
Beating
drum to
nowhere.
Ripples
slowly
wafting
away.
Laden
with meaning,
knowledge,
information.
History of
life.
People’s
stories.
Sliding
out
to the
void.
Wave
after
wave
departing
origin.
Diminishing
into aethers
oblivion.
Such
is the
destiny
of all
things.

          A most interesting meaning to this poem. If one takes it to be the last phrase it means one thing but if one takes it to be the entirety of the poem it means another. Nicely done
