I'm neither a poet nor a native English speaker.
I wrote what I felt, inspired by a photograph I took yesterday on the beach and which goes with this post. I hope I managed to convey what was on my mind.
Stay
The secret is to stay
Even when you feel every day
a call to walk away,
stay,
like a memory in your mind,
stay,
Like the blind man's desire to see,
Just stay,
And let the voice that comes from your heart
show you the way
when you try to find
something new,
so that you can stay,
Instead of hide,
or walk away,
from you!
This gorgeous poem is in my head. The first thing I want to do when I’m overwhelmed is to run away from myself (that’s why I used to like wine so much!) so I appreciate this reminder to stay❤️
A beautiful poem! The repetition of "stay" creates a powerful urge to persevere. The line "let the voice that comes from your heart show you the way" is particularly lovely.
