Safe Space

Have you ever met Those people That are just a safe space Their very presence Soothes you When you feel out of place They are unhurried When the World Seemingly swirls at pace As pressure defuses Your ears hear the quiet Picked up, protected, saved from the riot Skin no longer tingles The static resolves Tension decreases, ceases, dissolves I am heard, I am seen In this gentle safe space Most tender members of the human race

Beautiful poem DD and yes, my own mother and my granddaughter,, Jemma was born a few days after my mum passed away, an I swear, she inherited that same wonderful way of making everything seem alright. So your poem touched a part of my heart that is very dear, Thank you my lovely friend.

That's nice to hear Wen, everything you've ever uttered to me in public or private and through your poetry tells me that you have safe space qualities too.

Beautiful! Now who could it be ~ parents, school teacher, a trusted friend or perhaps the bliss current renewing within?

Ahh I'd love it to me myself! There is a teacher who I said it to and I hadn't realised it was such a powerful line as it really touched them. I said it because it was true but it made me realise and recognise that sensation when you meet someone like that. I'd also love it to be the poetry world. Thank you for your comment, always appreciated

Yes, DD I believe I have. I have been around a few of them in my lifetime and they were always a joy to be around. I like this poem and subject.
