knew all
the answers
long before
my brain
could
comprehend.
are what
completes me,
even when
life tries
its best to
defeat me.
embrace me
in the warmth
of sweet solace,
and I glow again
they wind
me up and
I go again.
my thanks
to the
Heavens for
these words.

hello dear friend @ericvancewalton good night
What a beautiful composition you give us today, and I must tell you that the heart is always faster than our brain, if we are kind-hearted, we will always have the best answers.
I appreciate that you let us know this beautiful poem.
have a wonderful night dear friend
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate the support!
I remembered with this poem what my grandmother always said: "the feet walk where the heart leans". Man is the only being who knows "who knows". That knowledge does not come from books, but from within him. Before the brain thinks, the heart will know all the answers. The idea is to learn to listen to it! An excellent reflection in this last Tuesday in July. Hugs
Thank you, Nancy! I've never heard that saying before, I like it! I hope you're having a good week.
And these words renewed me! Great poetry sir.
Thank you!
Knowledge is indeed power and it's imperative for us to understand this. I love the way your poem made emphasis on this, it felt like the poem could continue somehow, but then the conciseness and the images painted were well aligned. I enjoyed reading this.
Thanks Jose! I've been reading a lot more during the pandemic and am realizing how much I missed it. Fiction can open up your imagination to new worlds when your feet have to stay planted on the ground. I hope you're having a good week.
i love this part. there are just some words that keeps you going. this poem reminds me of what my mom said to me before going into college about some 7 years ago..
really nice piece.
Thanks and I'm glad it sparked that memory for you!
