I don’t write to change other’s view
Yet with each word, my mind finds clarity
I write not to make a difference, it’s true
But to drift away, escaping the reality …
I don’t paint to transform the world
But to steady the tremor within my soul
Each brushstroke a whisper of stillness
Each color a fragment of the peace I seek …
I don’t dance to dazzle or be seen
But to let the weight of the day fall away
Each step a silent prayer, each movement a release
Until I am nothing but breath and fleeting grace …
I don’t smile to hide the ache inside
But to remind myself of the light I can still hold
Each curve of my lips a quiet rebellion
Against the weight that tries to pull me below
Simply saying whether it’s through writing, painting, dancing, or smiling, I don’t do these things for others, I do them to heal and comfort my soul. These and more reflect my journey of seeking and creating my own sense of inner peace …
How do you find your inner solace?
Roksana Tales 
I find my inner solace through meditation and from nature, sometimes combining both. Sometimes life can feel as if it gets overwhelming and I need to step back to catch my breath.
A very thoughtful verse, Roksana. 🙂

I know how meditation and nature can bring peace. I also feel peace that way!
It’s so important to step back when life feels overwhelming and reconnect with ourselves
Thank you Richard for your kind presence on my poetic journey!

Wow, this is beautifully created, my dear! I can appreciate so well how writing helps us escape the doldrums, the disasters, the diseases that can enter without invitation but thank heavens for our ability to express, to escape and to endear us to oneself. There is a remarkable joy to inner peace that I always seek and pleased that you are finding it with your own talents.

Absolutely agree! Writing truly is a wonderful escape
We certainly do feel comfort playing with words
I, too, always seek that inner joy and peace, and I’m glad to share that journey.
Thank you Stefie for your kind presence and thoughtful words here and always ♥️

thank you for sharing your beautiful thoughts with us. How rich we are because you allow us to enter your world and explore what fine ideas you contemplate upon. Most of us are caught in the rat race of survival, pursuing material interests without pausing to consider how much peace we could find if we stopped to ruminate and place our emotions down on paper. But, so many of us are just simply tired or ill and we choose to escape into the tv, sports, fun activities and dining and while those are good and well but they dont permit us to stop and find inner comfort within self.
