Can you feel it?
The calm.
Can you sense it?
The serenity.
Can you see it?
The tranquillity.
Can you taste it?
The delicious placidity.
You rail against the world
You kick and struggle
Disagreeable
Fraught
Tearful.
I reach out
You don’t see
My hand extended
You ignore the obvious.
When I stand in your shoes
I see the pain, the torment.
My offer stands.

The words fit the picture beautifully, Michael 🙂
Thank you Lyn.
Moving … such a moving declaration of love … or so I saw it.
Thank you Georgia appreciate you stopping by.
Ach dear Micheal … I do so like your writing, it’s such a pleasure when I can find the time to read you work, just wish I could so more often
That closing line is brilliant, this packs an emotional punch Michael excellent =) I just posted my own response, loved the photo Neeraj chose.
Thanks Yves it sometimes surprises me where my muse takes me. The last line seemed such a good way to conclude.
Full of empathy and help. I, too, love the last line.
Thanks so much Debi, lovely to see you drop by.
That is beautiful Michael. For one to understand the pain and torment of others so deeply and still be willing to help, is a true friend.
Thank you Jenny, appreciate your comment as always.
Welcome
Ah this is lovely , Michael , and written with empathy and compassion!
Thanks CLr, have a lovely Easter break.
I am working until Saturday but off enough days to welcome the Easter Bunny:)
Well I hope he leaves you a happy person.
Making my family happy with a sweet meal and goodies makes me happy:)
To understand and still offer help.
Honor at its finest.
Thanks so much Jules.
I love the image of this person sailing against the edge of the world, kicking out and struggling. And meanwhile, there’s someone extending their hand, yearning for that person to accept and reciprocate their love.
This might fit, on a humorous note:
“I can show you the world”
“I don’t wanna see it”
yes exactly Izzy. Thanks so much for reading my take on this prompt.
Beautiful poem. It is with grace that you learn to see thing from the others perspective and can still offer help. 🙂
Yes indeed Susan. Thanks so much for stopping by and for your comment.
