Deep Within~

Painting by Josephine Wall

Deep in the core of our hearts
are promises, secrets, and desires
buried in the sands of time,
and within the shell of our body
is another person waiting
to emerge and breathe
the essence of tomorrow;
Waiting for a slight zephyr to lift
and invite us to fly within the winds
of breathlessness like a baby sparrow
upon the wingspan of freedom,
inhaling the serenity of a new day.
They say we all have a twin;
a twin within us, aching to be introduced.

[Rita L. Sev]

Perhaps it's our "inner child"; perhaps our Muse; or maybe the true self we are meant to be. Love this write, Rose - got me thinking on a whole new level!

[SyberRose]

Thank you Rita...Glad you enjoyed this piece...Rose:)

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Almost reads like a prayer my love, perfection!

[SyberRose]

Thank you Thomas...always nice hearing from you...Rose:)

[Soma-ko]

How we all have more than one personality residing within us just waiting to be introduced, is an interesting concept. A poem well written, and much enjoyed. :)
(Read the other poems you requested, but I couldn't really find any words for them, though I did enjoy them much. :)

[SyberRose]

thats okay...nice to hear from you as always Soma...thanks for taking time to peek in today, I do appreciate it...Rose :)

[Soma-ko]

No problem. Though I believe I've hit a wall in terms of poetry, what some may call 'writer's block'... It's not fun at all...

[SyberRose]

Its probably because its summer time and you have other things to do...your brain is taking a rest from school.

[Soma-ko]

Possibly... Hope it leaves soon.

[Stella Armour]

[SyberRose]

Yes I love her paintings...i'm happy you enjoyed Stella...hugss

[Shaun Payton]

If only we'd open ourelves to truly live, to truly experience things with all we are, to me that is the desire of the "twin"

[SyberRose]

Yes so true indeed...thank you for peeking in once more Shaun ha...Rose:)

[Shaun Payton]

Well Rose, as you know it has been said I am many poeple on this site. So I think my twin, my triplet, my quadruplet and so on have already been introduced. :)>

Honestly, this is another in a nice collection of beautiful poems by you my friend. Your wrods always float softly to the eyes and gently caress the mind. Always perfect from you dear Rose.

[SyberRose]

Thank you so much Jack...Is that a goatee on your little smile? ha

[Jack...]

Yes it is. I have worn one for many years.

[SyberRose]

You probably don't remember this ...but you were wearing a wig hen i first came here haa

[Jack...]

Yeah, I drew that on the first time I was accused of being someone on this site with a girl's name.
I didn't leave it up long though, blonde is just not my color. :)

[SyberRose]

I meant the first time I came here...Im writing like im drunk ha

[Jack...]

I knew what you meant. You were one of the lucky ones, like I said it didn't stay up too long. :)>

[jacob erin-cilberto]

nice write, Rose...

thinking about this...it is a shame that so often that twin never emerges...life passes by and we remain passive, just going about our dailey routines satisfied...

we don't endeavor to stretch outside of ourselves and go for more.

i do think poets let their twins out...their other selves...at least i hope that is true.

[SyberRose]

Thanks Jacob..yes we do let our twins out and triplets haa

[Sami Khalil]

[SyberRose]

thank you Sami and you are welcome...Rose:)

[Sami Khalil]

You too...:)...............

[quinfinn]

seems many writers are posting writes pertaining to depth, secrets and inner being here of late. your contribution to the trend is certainly no less impressive than other writes, in fact quite good. well done and nicely penned.

[SyberRose]

Thank you Quin...glad you enjoyed...Rose:)
