Heartbeats and milestones

You see, maybe it is simple:
we are heartbeats
travelling between milestones.

We all carry
our own melody inside,
taking our time between miles,
not knowing which will be
the last we complete,
before we must leave
the eventual silence and space,
following our life erase.

Every breathe should be deliberate,
held for precious seconds,
while we create an abundance of memories,
that are felt so deeply,
to widely scatter our milestones
through many other lives,
and ensure our loving hearts
long outlive their final beats.
