Just Breathe
The alluded charm has beat down my doors?
Perhaps
You know not what I am talking about
Or where this comes from, if not the heart
Hiding behind the shadow of smiles, reality drifting
I’m coming apart
So far away
The distance in the forever range
Can it be my mind playing games?
Yet
I close my eyes, and my soul smiles
Tossing out the truth for a while
Wherever you go, go with all your heart - Confucius
But, only by the heart
As it should be
My love, my love
I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
The air is clear and rarefied,
Vibrations cutting a path.
Silence is where the truth lies.
A shuddering intake between each slow strum.
Cross the weeping guitar of this life

Beep Boop.
Maybe this upvote will help with that!
Thank you! That is so very kind of you!
Beautiful!
Made me stop and breath and take it all in!
Such a lovely verse! Is it you're own creation?
Thank you so much. Yes. I usually make up my own words unless I use a well know (or not so well known) quote, but credit it.
I love playing with words. Thanks again and have a great day!
What a nice poem at the end. And your shots are great. Your posts always bring some good vibrations to me.
Thank you so much for that and I, too like the last poem. It is not my own, as noted at the bottom but it really strikes an emotional chord with me. Thank you for stopping by and as always I hope you have a most wonderful day.

A moment of zen is assured with a visit to your blog. Are your peonies in bloom already? Lucky. My fave flower for looks, especially the deep red ones. Freesia and lilacs for scent.
I remember as a child when I saw my first peony. If I could have imagined the perfect flower, it was it.
Can you believe my peonies are in bloom already? They are absolutely spectacular, as only a peony can be! Definitely for looks! I agree with you on the freesia and the lilacs! Lilacs were always my favorite when I was growing up. Of course, that didn't hurt that our yard was surrounded in acres of lilac bushes.
Every day that I live, I continue thinking what a beautiful world we live in. Thank you so much for always dropping in and leaving such beautiful words!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful words and for taking the time to read the poetry and my post. I appreciate the visit and as always I hope you have a most wonderful day!
Oh, white peonies are very fragrant, really. Have a nice day, Denise!
The white peonies are so abundant at my house right now that I don't have enough vases to put them in! Of course, I'm kidding, but there are so many that it is unbelievable. I must say that I have never seen a bush Bloom quite as much as this one. And each one of those flowers is huge. I have to say that they must be my favorite flower, or one of.
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and leave your most wonderful comment. I hope you have a great day!

Thank you so much @dswigle
Peonies in the garden, it is also beautiful, it is like a bush ... And not necessarily put them in a vase😁
MIne are on the edge of the driveway, in the garden and are hidden by my cars. I will move them after blooming, but, then next year, I will leave them in the garden!!! :)
