So much happening in a person’s face.


Poem Artwork

A face can speak without talking.
A mind can wander without walking --
        and a heart can break without even stopping.

A spirit can soar while still living.
Those with less often do the most giving --
     and gracious losing is the best kind of winning.
     

 Respecting each other and the struggle we're in -- 
        is the end of the end and the start of the beginning.

What wise words and new creativity of that beautiful self-portrait have come from your recent brush with unfortunate circumstances.

I have noticed that it is those with the least that give the most when others are in trouble. That says something powerful about who we are as humanity.

Just keep them coming our way. Such a joy to read and view.

Your talent indeed is finding wealth in paucity. "A heart can break without even stopping". Now that is original and thought-provoking. And I love your salute to opposites (something I try to do as well) as in: "Gracious losing is the best kind of winning." The paradox of your last two lines sums it all up.

I, for one, see the "struggle we're in," yet find through the struggle there is a kind of "talking" that I hold vibrations, whether spoken or sent through allowing, is a connective tissue of mind and heart that for some is fantasy, but for me and poets such as yourself, is actually many levels of reality available to those who allow.

The world of unknowns is available. Yet, far too few access such a phenomenon. Thank you for bringing such monumental meaning in such few words.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
