Poetry-Brave is the Soul

Brave is the soul that aches

In the midst of the valley she takes

Where trees and flowers wave her by..

As the tears cease but her heart cries.

And the days pass slow

Onward she goes

Through the stale stench of time.

Brave is the soul that aches

In the midst of the heart that breaks

Where the beat of blood rushes by

As her mind considers why.

And the minutes pass slow

Onward she goes

Through the ravaged halls of time.

Brave is the soul that aches

Through a smile that is fake.

Where people smile back at her lie.

Tears hidden behind tired eyes.

And the days pass slow

Onward she goes

Through the broken shards of life.

I'm someone who has always had a deep passion for literature and writing. From a young age, I've been captivated by the power of words and the way they can transport us to different worlds, open our minds to new ideas, and connect us with people and experiences that are distant from our own. Whether it's immersing myself in a classic novel, jotting down my thoughts in a journal, or crafting my own creative stories, writing and literature have always been an essential part of my life. I'm excited to continue exploring this rich and rewarding field, and to share my thoughts and insights with others who share my love for all things literary.
