• HEARTBEAT, a poem by Alice B. Clagett

Dear Ones,

Here is a poem I wrote recently about an event that happened to long ago someone I loved …

HEARTBEAT
A Poem by Alice B. Clagett

She had a
heartbeat
like the flutter
of a bird’s
wings.

It seemed too little
to sustain
life

and, in the end,
it proved to be
just so

. . . . .

In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!
