Within
this mind of mine
a sheet of fog
where clarity knows no home
I will not bring that down upon you

Within
this mouth of mine
destiny not meant to leave my lips
words shaped to cut
I will not form them

Within
this heart of mine
wings spread full
made of paper so sheer
I will not write upon

Within
this soul of mine
butterflies hoping to catch a breeze
and rest gently upon it
I will not let them loose

Within
me
is hope
clear as water
but
just as cold
I will not swim

"Within" you is "heart" and "soul" ~ and talent!

~ A creatively expressive piece of writing!

After reading and enjoying your other piece Exhale, I looked for another.  

You have a lovely way of developing and carrying your theme forward. I enjoyed the repetitive format of each stanza, and the unique way you captured each stanza's independent importance to the whole. Really well done, much enjoyed.  

Best wishes,
/Kit
