of sadness,
release them
from your soul.
take its flight,
feel what it is
to be whole.
re-vel in peace,
absence of pain,
all worries cease.
every happiness,
you deserve
to be free.
in perfect peace
and you will
forever after be.

how are you dear friend @ericvancewalton good afternoon
What a beautiful composition, very timely for the times we are living, today more than ever we must embrace calm and free ourselves from all worries.
thank you very much for teaching us this poetry
have a beautiful sunday, enjoy it
All is well here, I hope it is for you too! Thanks so much for reading!
I absolutely love when poetry is kept simple, relatable and from the heart. No vague, ambiguous or unnecessary words. Just a poet and his emotions. Sometimes we don't realise we are holding our breathe until we actually exhale, the same with pain and grief. Thank you for sharing
Thank you @belema and welcome to Hive!
Nice poem. Your poem series are always inspiring
Thanks!
Certainly! The word is one of the most powerful weapons that human beings possess. With it you can not only lift the fallen, you can also make the strongest fall. If you keep your words, they grow and at any moment, they come out of you. So if it is pain, anger, fear, take them out so that they do not make a home inside you. When you speak the name of something or someone, it begins to have life. Then, let's start saying words that comfort us, that relieve us, that make this world, something better. I hug you tight, Eric. A good weekend for you and your family. Greetings
Thanks Nancy! Words are greatly powerful and they can also be poisonous if held in too long. Words are like a delivery system for emotion. Have a wonderful weekend!
nice poetry. :) i know it 'cos I am professor of my native language and literature :)
I appreciate that! I had no idea you were a professor!
yes i am. you are very talented and you don't need paper book these days 'cos this is better :)
Thanks, I really appreciate that! You’re right....books (at least mine, anyway) aren’t selling much anymore. Blogging, podcasting and vlogging seem to have overtaken books and Hive is a great platform for that.
that's it. :)
Wow, exlenete poesia, muy original y atrapante, gracias por compartir te dejo mi voto.
¡Gracias por el voto y las amables palabras!
Wow!!!!wow!! This is the kind of post my country people will say mad o!! For.. this is so calming and actualy relieving.. just positive vibes .. i liked it
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
I like it man. I run a medium publication of poetry, if you would like to contribute let me know! https://medium.com/rhythm-and-poetry
Thank you! I'll drop in a check it out. I appreciate the link and the invite!
These are powerful words.... It's funny how I read this to myself and felt the peace afterwards
That’s what I like to hear! I’m glad the feeling of the poem was transmitted.
Nice! I really like the idea of letting go of the things that are holding you down by speaking them. I think a lot of times we have fears and anxieties that we don't put a name to and because of that they are able to control us. This is really great stuff!
Thanks man! If I remember correctly some indigenous cultures might do this. I'll have to do a little searching. This concept will definitely be included in my new meditation book though. It's one chapter away from completion. I hope you and the family had a nice 4th!
Beautiful.
Beautiful calming poetry @ericvancewalton, I'm going to print this out and stick it on my study wall, thank you!
Thank you, Lizelle! I was thinking about the challenges of this year while I was writing this. So many people are carrying around the heavy burden of sadness and regret now. I hope you and the family are well!
