The Center

In need of simple resolution
In need of retribution,
Shattered and tormented,
Why hasn't it ended?

Contraction of the mind and soul,
It continues to fold,
Soon it will be nonexistent,
But even now I resist it.

I want it only a small foul bit,
Part of me has given in,
But the other sees a larger picture,
There is a reason the hearts the center

Our mind though brilliant,
And our heart sometimes rampant,
It's the center in which you should trust,
It knows your feelings like it knows your blood.

It helps us through our problems,
Even helps solve them,
It works day and night,
Make sure our bodies never die.

It's the simple resolution,
It's our confusing retribution,
And we've had it all along,
In the center of trillions of atoms.

Each word has a hue and color so tinged in shadows, with the heart at the core, breathing and beating a rhythm to transform us when we suffer. You created something so vast and full, and with an intimacy so beautiful. xo

I liked the above lines. We use about 5% of our mind. If we find a way to use more. I was told we can see and know too much. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry Angela.

Thank you for reading:) those were some of my favorite lines too. A lot of what we can't use of our mind is our subconscious. Which is awesome, but yeah to much knowledge can be bad and overwhelming.

The Jim Morrison and many others used the mind opening drugs. Saw too much, too quickly and you are welcome.

[Angela Sparks]

That sounds crazy. I couldn't imagine opening up anymore of.my mind. It's be way too overwhelming, and dangerous for someone's mental state

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree my friend.

Never pull your poems down. These are your thoughts written down, I can tell that. This has lots of emotion. It has a beginning and an end and it tells a story of doom and hoplessness that changes into fighting back instead of giving up, then an ending of hope and encouragement.
To tell a story in so few words is the art of poetry.

[Angela Sparks]

Sorry haha. Yes they are my thoughts. I'm glad you liked the plot, and the fact it told a story. It's not something I do a lot. This makes me feel a little better about it:)

Regardless of you feeling it's your best or not, it is a heart felt write that helps get things out that you want to just get out and feel better about doing so. I know for me, I write a lot of times just to flush it from my thoughts and kind of ease the worry and pain associated with holding it in. I enjoyed it my friend :)

[Angela Sparks]

I'm glad you enjoyed it:) yeah I do the same. It helps ease the mind plenty.
