It’s Time To Live Again
What happens when a lifetime of unspoken emotion, trauma, and grace finally finds its voice?
At age 61, after decades of surviving severe congenital health challenges, childhood trauma, and the quiet weight of unexpressed pain, John Philip Lowton picked up a pen to write his very first lines of creative verse.

Heartbeat poem
- The Essence of Life
There’s one thing in life, over time, set in place,
A constant companion in the race.
A unique rhythm, never silent, pounding,
Life’s very heartbeat, constant, sounding.
Your calling in life, forever true,
The very essence of what makes you.
It’s never too late to embrace and own,
The very you, worn and known.
Where fear holds back, trust the call,
Gods gift to you for one and all.
Step on through and be at ease,
A perfect fit, a summer breeze.
It’s time to live again.
