We Begin Anew

Everyone escapes to a place to calm their minds.

Here we grow brighter.

Making life lighter.

We learn life's truths.

Under a starry night's roof.

The serenity here dries up tears; disperses fears.

It draws us, people, far and near.

Before you know. We are all here.

Everything sparks to life. 

Exploding we ignite.

We begin anew.

We happy few.

Leaving problems beyond the gates.

For here our culture thrives and cultivates.

It creates.

So here we are.

On this starry night.

Let loose your soul to shine bright.

The poem sounded nice, but in all honesty, it didn't mean anything. There was no direct impact. I could have gone in any direction, really. It's a good start, but it's just too vague. I wanted to like it, but there was no one meaning you got from it. There wasn't any strong feeling either; you just felt a bunch of little vague feelings with every hint.

It wasn't supposed to make you really feel much I kind of just wrote about where I go in my head when I am writing. Thank you for reading and the review.

This makes me wonder what would happen if we all came together and just created the great ideas that some people had or what we all thought of together. Very nice poem.

Well my friend we would create the greatest works of history and better. Thank you for reading friend.

i think this speaks to how poetry is a way for us to go to that place, let it all out---and stay somehow safe since we are among others like us...those who also go to that place...

It is. We all deserve access to this place. It allows us to express who we really are and how we feel. Why not let it flow. Thank you for reading.

the world you live in must exist in inner lyrics a world of unspoken meaning hidden behind masked doors a poets sanctuary away from life endless trial and violent misgivings in a man you can find a home and in a community you can find yourself speak freely and truly my friend

[The Seeker of Thoughts]

Thank you for the kind words my friend. Perhaps one day you can join me in this world of unspoken meaning. Then together we can write words in infinite. Thank you for reading.
