Here

Here

By: Ethan West

The grass sways with my heart

The stars sing to my gaze

But my gaze lost from the start

In wonder, amazed

I am here

Cool water meets my lips

Cool thoughts in my mind

Warm life that slips

Within thought beauty blinds

I am here

And in this calm of mine

My worries and bitter thoughts ease

Perhaps now I may find

Peace…

Where is here?

I'll post a couple others tonight I'd love to get your opinion. This poem specifically has one 1 contest but is a commonly accepted favorite among my peers.

A very good poem. Many times in a life. We ask where we are standing. I like the flow of thoughts and the questions in the poem. Good luck on your book. I hope you do well. Thank you for the excellent poem.
