a sole tempo

what if our souls

have tempos

a beat

a speed

defining us

shaping us

what if our souls

have tempos

what if our souls

have tempos

means a blending of hearts

and similar beats

means some similar thoughts

what if our souls

have tempos

and the tempos that match

in double speed or triple

in half speed or quadruple

are the people who stay
