Drumbeat

My life had a rhythm

Though my song was discordant

The cadence was clear

To my days quite important

I beat my own drum

My rhythm was the music

The constant of time

Drowned out the confusion

When the music ceased to play

My beat echoed starkly

Unable to lead or

Determine my heartbeat

The silence consumed me

All rhythm was lost

I tried other songs

Without counting the cost

Then one day I heard it

A strong steady beat

The song that it led was

Alluring and sweet

The strains rose and fell

With the time that it kept

The cadence so perfect

I fell in effortless step

Toward a joining of heartbeats

And a harmony sublime

He offered His lifelong

And now it is mine
