growth nature poetry reflection selfdiscovery

Before the Silence is a quiet journey through light, air, and time - a collection of poems that capture the moments before reflection begins.
These pieces were born from observation - the way the world shifts at golden hour, how rivers remember, and how the wind carries pieces of us farther than we think.

Written in a time when I was still learning to see rather than to analyze, these poems live in the space between wonder and understanding. They trace the rhythm of nature, the calm of companionship, and the first whispers of self-awareness.

It's a soft beginning 
-a reminder that even before silence finds its voice, it already has something to say.All Rights Reserved

Glow Between the Cracks (poetry book) by thegoldensunshine231

This is not a collection of perfect poems- but pieces of light that slipped through the places I thought were broken. Each word is a breath I couldn't take back, each line a moment I lived through-softly, silently, and sometimes, in storms. These poems are for anyone who's ever felt too much, for hearts that hide their glow in quiet corners. Because sometimes, the most beautiful light comes from where we least expect it- between the cracks. "Poems that don't shout. They stay." "Because broken doesn't mean dim."

For Zen; my Sea Goddess, my Forget-Me-Not. by IrisMyCase

You found me where the sea met silence-a shore too quiet for its own heart. And somehow, you turned that silence into a song. Before you, the world was still, the sky unmoving, the piano untouched. But then there was you-bluebell eyes, a voice like waves, a laugh that could wake the tides. You didn't rescue me. You simply saw me-and that was enough to make me float again. This poem, this book, is my thank-you. Thirty tides, thirty heartbeats, thirty poems carved from salt and lavender light-a collection of the moments, the thoughts, and the breaths that became "us." Every page is a memory dressed in poetry. Every word is something I never said aloud but always meant. You are the melody the sea taught me, and I am forever writing it back to you. Happy birthday, wifey!! mwa mwas u dearly ^^ May the sea always carry my words to where you are. 💜🌊 - Aloe, your lavender. (This is a Gift for @Zenisshiiit)

LETTERS I NEVER SENT - A Thousand Tender Nights by IxoraT4

I grew up in a rural village in Vietnam, in a family where my father struggled with addiction and my mother carried the heavy burden of raising six children. Deep inside, I always longed for a warm and loving home, a father to guide and protect, and a mother to nurture and comfort. As I grew older, that longing shifted into a yearning for romantic love, as my heart began to awaken to its first tender stirrings. The poems I wrote became sparks, small reflections of each stage of my life, each one carrying my search for love. They were poems never sent, born of desires I kept quietly to myself, of feelings that never grew into real relationships. These verses echo my heart, a heart that once held silence, longing, and memory, and now beats with the fire of love. Some were written long before I met the one who awakened me, yet each line carries the tenderness I have discovered in the present. As an immigrant, poetry in Vietnamese has always been my way of breathing. What you read here are my own translations, sometimes imperfect, but always honest. These poems are not just about one person, but about what it means to be alive: to long, to love beyond fear, and to speak from the soul. Now, in my forties, I understand that the image I was searching for was myself. And with that discovery, my love has not faded; it has deepened, becoming steadier and more serene. I no longer search for "him" to give this love away to. Instead, this profound love lives within me, unshakable and whole. In finding myself, I found love.

Stars the Sea could never hold. by Yadreu

One moment, I was drowning. The next, I was breathing air that didn't belong to my world.. And yet, there he was in the middle of all the strangeness. A stranger who looked at me as if I were something unreal. His words, strange and heavy, brushed against my ears, but his eyes-spoke a language I almost understood. When his hand reached for me, even for a second, my heart betrayed me, beating to a rhythm that didn't feel like mine. I should've run. I should've questioned everything. But in that moment, between fear and wonder, I knew one thing- Somewhere between the ocean and the stars, fate had found me.

Bare Soul by womanofsoull

My Bare Soul can be found at the pit of the glistening waterfalls where my words reside. My loud vulnerability. My truth that I do not hide. My voice although unheard, my words make it come alive. Although it trembles, my hand or pen in it never shakes, it only thrives. Come take a look inside... Maybe you'll find yourself in one of my poems. Or maybe you'll see a soul that unapologetically confides. (Poetry book)
