Heartbeat

Sometimes during a sunrise,

One can actually feel time slow to only a faint heartbeat.

For it is then that the ancient past,

the present,

and the distant future,

converge and join hands.

Only the sunrise remains untouched by history.

It rises everyday the same way,

just like it always has since antiquity,

and always will

til long after we are all dead and gone.
