My love for words and the process of writing poetry that has the potential to heal and uplift both the author and the listener inspired me to write this poem.

Tentative Steps Toward a Poem

by Asya Rachitsky from Rancho Palos Verdes, California in United States

tentative steps toward a poem

 

A warm quiver

heated by heart

can mobilize

forward

movement

 

a motion bourne of longing

and courage

that becomes more exacting

as the brain diffuses

the eyes narrow

the skin

electrifies.

while listening

becomes a river

and the spirit

perks to softly 

attend 

to treasures of that ocean.

resonances that 

tentatively

crack the world

and heal the heart
