Beautiful Beats

The most beautiful feeling in the world can be contained within a hug.

Oh, I underestimated the comfort found in the arms of a long lost friend that I believed to have been lost forever.

In those few moments, I noticed

how his eyes still sparkle in the sunshine,
how his arms are still strong and powerful,
how his hands vulnerably long for a connection,
how he trusted me still in spite of my stupidity,
and how his voice still resonates within me.

I am still shocked at my excitement that after years of praying and worrying for him,
his heart still beats in perfect rhythym.

That, to my ears, is the most beautiful sound in the world. The memory of that sound, coupled with those few moments, actually reduces me to tears.

No matter what, I am grateful for the opportunity to hear it.
It meant the world to me.
