This is a poem I wrote a few years back. It was inspired by my daughter when she was in elementary school. So much of what my daughter experienced, then and now, happened inside her richly populated mind. The world inside never quite matches the one outside and it can be struggle to communicate between them.
SILENT CORE
By Adam Parmenter
Locked inside the silent core
Little escapes
The relentless embrace of
The inner mind
So alive.
On the inside.
Worlds, unseen, bloom and wane
Beyond the reach of
Hands and smiles
If they only knew
The miles and miles
I’ve journeyed alone
Songs unknown
Stories untold
Yearning to break free
To be known and seen
From the silent core.
