Within the space
Where you started to Breathe Emerged a soft silence Your ears had never Heard Unsure what it was like To be free from the Noise Your mind sought to fill This void in between And fight fight Into the dark night The thoughts came Like arrows To tear you from the Calm But prepared for the Charge You readied your Sword Knowing you needed This peace from the Pause But just as you lunged To land your first blow You gasped out to Breathe And find air once again And much to the Surprise Of the mind made to maim Came the heart made To hold The silence back to Claim What your ears knew As truth The way from the pain The journey back to Love Within the space once Again

The poem was quite short but it was enough to deliver its message really well. What I love about it is the fact that the words were organized, making the whole piece easy to understand. It just broke the standard of poem that it should be lengthy to deliver a great message. In my case, I write poems when I am emotional and I want to deliver a pain that comes from my heart. That's the perfect time for me to come up with a good piece of poem I can be proud of. I let my friends read it so that they will have some comments!

Thanks for your thoughtful message and I completely agree that sometimes that greatest lines and poems comes from moments of hurt, deep heartache when we surrender to the feelings and let ourselves be fully present in the moment
