Compost

Post by Annanielsen22 »

I like to imagine what lies beyond the frame of a painting
The art that it's a piece of

The thoughts things were created from
(The feathers of a dove)

The process between an idea
And a final product...
Though I wish we could share all our inspirations
Maybe some things should stay private

Even the most beautiful thoughts
Sometimes really ought not
To be exposed as they are to the world
Some potentials simply stay furled

But it's okay if they stay that way
At least you knew them, so appreciate

That certain love can't be shared
(Though there are loves that exist to dare)
And the quiet loves that you keep to yourself
Are worth just as much as anything else

Don't worry that you didn't create
Every idea that knocked at the gate
Their intention was never to be a guilt
So plant new flowers
Let some wilt

This is deep. So philosophical, and some hidden thoughts:

That certain love can't be shared
(Though there are loves that exist to dare)
And the quiet loves that you keep to yourself
Are worth just as much as anything else

I agree with whatever it is that is not known but is worthy . . . and can't be shared. . . (I wish to know)

...To delineate the times that lovers miss,
...A thousand dreams can't beat a single kiss.

This is beautiful! I completely relate to the lines...
"It's okay if they stay that way {private}
At least you know them, so appreciate

That certain love can't be shared."

I am a private person and some of my favorite memories are the ones that I haven't shared. I like to keep them locked up in my treasure chest heart where I look and them and love them.

I also love the last two lines, especially! Again I say beautiful! Well done!

I really enjoy the message behind this piece. Inspiration can be more beautiful than the product itself as it is the real and authentic, yet there is undoubtedly power in what is withheld.
