A Space Unknown

Gisela Vigil 1959 (Cuba)

Rhymed
A Space Unknown

Such as path with blanket of snow,
beneath it warmth does hold.
Or spot to which a bird will fly
to shield from winters cold.

Such as forest, a distant place
adorned with jeweled trees.
Or rainbow which we cannot touch.
Its ending, no one sees.

Many times a climber will seek
to stand on highest ground.
In sea, dips diver far below
for treasure to be found.

So far, so close within our grasp
lies space to us unknown.
Somewhere in heart, green pastures grow
where seeds of hope are sown.

Thank you for welcoming me to this community. I was born in Cuba but emigrated with my family to the US when I was three. I am mother to three young adults now, and also a grandmother. I’ve been writing for years, some I share, others I still keep in my personal file. I often write of struggles for we all face them as we journey through life. But still, I feel peace knowing I try my best. Feel blessed to have been given the gift of writing which I strive to improve cause there’s always room for growth. more…
