It is putting yourself in places
where you have the space to feel.
It is taking the time to listen
to the quiet of your soul.
It is being in
awe of wonder
and the things
you cannot explain.
It is being
new and renewed
and it is
feeling.
It is changing your perspective
to see things you’ve never seen.
It is the possibility
of finding a different path.
It is feeling
with your soul
not seeing
with your eyes.
It is letting
colour and light
wash over you.
It is staring into the clouds
on the very darkest of day.
It seeing the shape of a heart
where the sun shines through.
It is finding
yourself when you are alone
when no one
else is around.
It is singing
with all of your voice
even if you
don’t make a sound.
Andrea, this is such a joy-filled poem. Your message is not 'silent' at all. Points made loud and clear. Enjoyed!! (Actually I think it would make a good song....sung with guitar accompaniment.)
ReplyDeleteThe last stanza just sums up the true beauty of being alone and not being lonely. Nothing finer than being at peace with yourself. I really enjoyed this so much!

This reminded me of why I like to take a break from people.
ReplyDeleteYes, very true. Sometimes we just want to be with ourselves and just want to search our soul.
