I Am Stirred

A stirring in my soul

I am stirred

by you

In ways that cannot be described

by mere words

In a language 

spoken 

only in love

In a sense that can be felt

but not thought

In a notion that can be suggested

but not known

It is a stirring

of which is now neatly blended

into my soul

into my fabric

into my being

You

stir

me

This is absolutely stunning and completely accurate. Again, it's beyond language, and yet you capture it so beautifully in a way that brings back memories and makes you sigh. I really, really, really like this piece, for lack of coherency. 10/10.

[DianneR]

What a lovely compliment. I am humbled. Thank you.

What you written is called an "awakening" . It's an exhilarating feeling that overcomes you touching every nerve in your body
The brain sends you a message to SMILE...

[Kelly Scheppers]

Beautiful expression...to be stirred by something gives it great depth, profound meaning. I love the way you formatted this, Diane.

[DianneR]

Yes, 'depth' is a perfect way to describe what I wanted to put across to the reader. I love that you stated it so clearly. Thank you kindly Kelly. Given your beautiful work, I am honored that you find it so.

[Coyote Poetry]

Beautiful. Gentle words told of great emotions. When love is born. Should be stirred gently and with kindness. Thank you Dianne for sharing the amazing poetry.
