This Space

[Stella]

In this space
are all the kisses, loving embraces,
crazy heights of ecstasy
and flames that still flicker.

In this space
is much pain, forgiveness withheld
bitterness unsweetened
and tears unspent.

In this space
also is profound kindness and peace
beautiful words that soothe
and empathy God given.

In this space
is the learning of gentle compassion
the amazing joys of giving
and the miracle of smiles.

In this space
when i am gone from it
there will be nothing at all
not even an empty space.

Just a ramble really until my muse gives me something better..

[Joseph Anderson]

Pretty inspirational with your muse who has g one astray.I'll take it and keep it,till your use returns and I am sure it will

[Seema Chowdhury]

Very beautifully said

[Karin Anderson]

What a great way to take up space with many different emotions creatively written. We all lose our muse from time to time and having had a rest she will give you many more ideas. The second last stanza is really beautiful and my favourite Stella.

[Tom Balch]

A really lovely ramble , Stella. Me thinks your muse is still very much with you.

[Nightmute]

A thought-provoking write, nevertheless, Stella, no matter that you label it "a ramble", Ma'am. Contained within our own hearts are conflicting emotions and thoughts, but when we are gone, are they, too? A great write on which to ponder, for sure.
