There is a place
For that I yearn
The path of which
Untraveled

Untouched by men
A quiet stage
There my soul
Will sing

If ever my heart
can finds its peace
In creation's
Holy wild

Then I will be
The truly blessed
A man of which
Is free.

Wonderful poem, that's all there is to it. It has a great concept and it flows well. You kept up the pattern for each stanza and you were able to evoke a yearning emotion. Epic! Keep of the great work!
When I give up, I'm not showing weakness.
Sometimes, I'm just showing enough strength to move on.

Hi there Everett. I don't have much to say, I guess. Lol. Just that the poem would look better with commas. :) But I think you did a good job.

I like it/the overall sentiment. Just wanted to say I think the "There my soul" line could benefit from an extra syllable for rhythm's sake. Also I think it ought to be "for which I yearn" unless I'm misunderstanding (which is highly possible). Hmm...and speaking of the word "which", about the last two lines--a man of what exactly?

Oh, "which is free" is a noun phrase. That wasn't apparent at first. I don't see any other comments about it so maybe I'm just dense...



Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.
