Poem, Pure

Original Submission by HMakhloufi

Pure

Pure,

Before the first word,

there is only silence.

Some call for more

pages upon pages,

layers upon layers.

I begin with one.

A simple word,

clear enough to breathe,

light enough to carry.

I am the roots

beneath the mountain.

I drink the pure water

and give shade to the tree,

so it can cool down,

breathe,

and think…..

how will I bloom?

how will I glow?

Not everything beautiful

needs a hand to touch it.

Sometimes

a thought arrives

without a hand that types,

only the thought itself

a quiet touch

upon the mind,

a gift

that asks for nothing

but room to grow.

And while the mountain

waits to be climbed,

I remain beneath it.

Rooted.

Seven seeds

are waiting.

I will not rush them.

I will give them water,

space,

and a little silence.

Because sometimes

the purest thing

you can give another mind

is not an answer,

but a thought

that lets it bloom 💜
