Spaces Between Poem by Fay Slimm

Spaces Between

Rating: 5.0


Let there be spaces
In any togetherness.
Welcome the other's need.
Make room for solo
Times, the self likes exploring
As from inside it feeds.

Things can dominate
And thinking can suffocate
Yearnings for 'timeless'. Still
But peaceful, escape then,
Make entrance into such spaces.

No shadowed tree, we find
Grows big. We take care
Not to plant closely. Often
Then breathe your own air.
Space at times calls silently
And we, following wisely,
Acknowledge a need is there.

Providing chances to spaces sometimes becomes necessary for us for they can actually make us adopt the path of self- -realization. They can also originate thoughts beyond the needs and make us more realistic.If we avail such spaces, they can be so convincing for us that we would surely be self-satisfied and would never be choked up by ourselves....10/10 Warm Regards Sameer

Fay this excellent both in composition and content. 'Give your hearts, but not into each others keeping. Stand together yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each others shadow.' (Kahil Gibran) I am keeping yours.

Effectively convincing tone in the following: No shadowed tree, we find Grows big. A good read Fay...

Sober depths explored. I have always liked spaces and been convinced for the need to have them and to ocupy them. Never more than in togetherness when we need them more than ever. Great poem Fay! Hxx
