Keep a Space - a Poem for #NationalPoetryDay


In the last minutes of #NationalPoetryDay I made a little space for some words to arrive

Keep a space

Keep a space -
For the dreams that dance across the mind
Scattering star showers of inspiration.

Keep a space -
For the precious creative wanderings without
Destination, yet full of magical destiny.

Keep a space -
For the music that sets your spirit aglow
And harmonises the strings of your heart.

Keep a space  -
For the deep, quiet stillness that allows you
To press reset when life is overloaded.

Keep a space -
For the beloveds of your heart's chamber,
Before life moves you on.

Keep a space -
A sanctuary away from the glare of screens,
A garden of natural joys and simple pleasures.

Keep a space -
A space beyond the intellect that jostles to know,
A place where all subsides into the unknown.
