Rhythm I hear you calling
As you did right from the start
When I heard you in the womb
From my mother's beating heart
I didn't want to go out
And start this earthly life
'Til you steadied out my breathing
And took away the strife
I feel you on this blank page
You want these lines to ring
You're with me as I walk about
Saying why not dance and sing
The pendulum keeps swaying
The day replaces night
You promise the next season
That dark will soon be light
All the cycles of the month
And full moons of the year
The tides and I ebb and flow
With days of joy and days of fear
That you never miss a beat
Makes this life seem true
You bind me to existence
With your faithful ancient glue
