HERE...a poem by Linda Ellis

2025/1/19 Edited to

Emphasizing mindfulness, it encourages readers to cherish the present and appreciate the small details of life. The poem beautifully illustrates how daily moments often carry deeper significance. Poetry has the unique ability to connect with individual experiences, and 'HERE' is no exception. Each line serves as a reminder that life is fleeting, urging us to find joy in our current surroundings.

For those seeking to explore similar themes, works by poets such as Mary Oliver and Maya Angelou often touch on the beauty of existence and the importance of presence in the human experience.

I read this poem, I can relate to it ❤️‍🩹🥀
Do not speak to me of kindness— I have worn it like a chain; Given hearts with open palms… Only to be fed back pain. I was soft where I should not have been, Loyal past the point of scars; I mistook manipulation For the gravity of stars. For I— Loved with everything I knew, A soul so

Where do I go from here? Poem by Poetically Jaii
I stand in the silence, alone with my mind, A battlefield echoing the love left behind. Five years of moments, now shattered and gone, Blocked from her world, left to stumble alone. The words I regret, the fight we last had, Play on repeat, and it drives me mad. I wish I had paused, I wish

I’m going to be honest guys, it feels weird posting poetry after everything that’s been going on in the world lately. I’m no good at writing political poems and I don’t want this to be a political page, but I do want to make it clear that I do not stand for bigotry nor is it welcome in this space.
