#psprompt

Meaningful words flow like water Thoughtful reflections their value bestow Below the surface where strength is found Enriching the soil & soothing the soul.

Thoughtful reflections their value bestow The deeper the drink, the stronger the growth Enriching the soil & soothing the soul Their essence clings to the branches of time.

The deeper the drink, the stronger the growth Collective roots bind the world like rope Their essence clings to the branches of time Regeneration renews the heart of the whole.

Collective roots bind the world like rope Below the surface where strength is found Regeneration renews the heart of the whole Meaningful words flow like water.

If summed up in few words:

Hearts, pressed in the night

Poetic stories finally heard

Hearts pressed in the night

Few who understand it

The inspiration to write

But here we come to submit

Few who understand it

Feeling outsider to the world

But here we come to submit

Here our voices are unfurled

________________________________

A more soothing and calming rest

For a pair of leaden eyes

In the form of a few or more

Heartfelt words

Strung into beautiful garlands

Of soul stirring verses

That earnestly rhyme

With a heart heavy with teardrops

Or as light as refreshing dew drops

Upon a softly swaying sunlit petal

Amid a rapturous dawn

Never have been there

A more assuring, comforting

And curative presence

Than these braids of gentle

mindful phrases and thoughts

That fills the space of a

Best friend or a loving companion

Slowly and steadily

With every successive moment

Eye opening experience shared by all

Themes give rise to emotions on call

Ways of knowing a mind and heart

Given courage by written forms of art

Rise these emotions on call

Shared by voices collecting them all

Courage through written art

Coming from deep within a swollen heart

Emotions called to rise and fall

Art comes in a form addressed to us all

Gather all you can as one voice shared

Swollen hearts dare to be compared

Art through courage, courage through art

Lead to paths within a swollen heart

Coming up from deep within

An experience shared, we all must begin

Congratulations to Poetic Stories celebrating 2 years 😊. Much Love to you all 💚💜💛.
