Welcome.
A place of solace A place of purpose A place where our hearts can learn to resurface Where loss has no remanence And finding is in abundance Our hearts are fated to soften in remembrance Come open minded and softened tongue Come weepy eyed and broken song Breathe deeply, breathe purposely Breathe in the beauty and exude wholeheartedly For here is refuge Here is peace Here is where our souls find relief Share your poetry and speak for your spirit It is in this space that bounty is what you are sure to inherit Poetry by Zinab Keshk (@breatheinbeautiful)
