A Place Where We All Can Find

Birds swooping down. Angrily squawking at each other. Viciously biting each other. They do not understand that every bird has a different heartbeat. The birds cannot exist together due to being closed-minded. Slowly, the birds learn and start to repopulate; bringing in a new species. There is color everywhere. Splashes of purples, reds, blues, and pinks against a green canvas. Other colors, such as, white, orange, black, and yellow flutter past each other. At first the colors avoid each other, growth coming to a halt. The colors then decide to join. New colors flourish with each other. We destroy each other. We are very intellectual. However, how can birds and flowers coexist but we cannot? So let us open our gates that we have kept closed for so long. Take a deep breath and listen for beating hearts. For we are all but heart beats. There is a place. A place with coexistence and harmony. A place where freedom is always accessible on china plates. The gates will forever be open. This place welcomes all. You are welcome to this garden.

Megan, , Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
