exemption


This wisdom I achieve
As I need to abandon it.

But let me be now.

This moment  I praise
 I need this silence
this distance
 this dumbness.

My soul is talking
And I don’t hear.

My body is listening
And I just breathe

looking at the ceiling
I don’t think.

And the voices bounce and leave
yours I won’t long to hear

It’s vital though
 you understand
and keep near
.
Outside my sphere.

nice bit of back and forth in here...near enough to be there but still outside the sphere...

My soul is talking
And I don’t hear.

My body is listening
And I just breathe

my fav lines...

Once I wrote a poem titled "Please, Oh Let Me BE!"
Gonna try to find it, but it was childish...Ooops not saying this is any of the sort!

But yes, each Peep needs their own space and time--alone. Would that everyone understood this...well, there would probably still be the differences, wars, social problems.

Silence can be deafening and deadening, in the case of non-communication. It can be a healing influence, when used regularly, but with discretion.

Hey, you still write good, Sweetie, and I look for your posts. Take care, Canary-Girl!

I guess we all require solitude at times, to be left to our own devices but not to be left lonely. I love solitude, but still being near my loved one.;)
Lovely poem indeed.
Thank you so much for you recent visit and comment.;))
