Stepping Back

Sometimes we just need to step back, to see the big picture, to analyze what we are really feeling.

Sometimes you have to step back,

To see all that you lack.

To regain that peace of mind,

Which only the presence of Time can find.

Sometimes stepping back is needed,

So that you can breathe.

To regain what was lost,

So you can find that one true thought.

In order to move on,

You must find what was gone.

You must find what you had,

In order to once more be glad.

Stepping back allows you to see,

All that you can possibly be.

a better you,

In everything you do.

A truly beautiful poem. Such meaning in so few words. Love your style of writing :)

This is valuable advice, and well-written. While it's certainly true in the context of personal relations, it occurred to me that it applies to many things, including art. As a long time painter and sketcher, I learned that one must get their nose out from in front of the work and view it from a distance every so often.

thanks for your wonderful words I deeply appreciate your feedback and wish you much success with your art. Yes this poem can be used for many things. Sometimes I generalize.
