CAPACITY
This is never the pleasurable part of being a writer. It feels slimy and inauthentic and for someone who’d rather be creating all day, it becomes a tedious chore. Nevertheless it must be done if you want to try and get your stuff seen or heard. So below is a poem called Capacity which was one reviewers personal favorites. There’s always an innate sense when some piece of your work wants to walk out a little further into the world.
I hope you enjoy it!
CAPACITY
You have the capacity
You have the dreams
You have the means
There is space to grow
There is space to know
There is space to sow
Seeds today
sprout forests tomorrow
What’s nurtured in light
fruit they bear not sorrow
Be kind to mistakes
or ripples from your wake
Capacity includes them too
“Cultivate Curiosity: There Is Hope Even In Unimaginable Circumstances is a work of collected poetry in the inspirational writing, motivational, and emotional genres. Penned by author Richard Silvia, this fascinating collection of beautiful and hopeful imagery explores today's social observations and the author’s own personal journey through trauma, offering profound lessons on embracing change and unity. Through poignant verses, Silvia invites readers to discover hope in 'unimaginable circumstances,' emphasizing the transformative power of resilience and the enduring nature of hope amidst adversity.
Author Richard Silvia gives everything of himself to craft a deeply moving and enlightening collection that feels authentic from cover to cover. Silvia's poetic exploration of social observations and personal trauma is sure to resonate deeply with readers who have had similar experiences, offering profound insights into common emotions and those struggles that more of us are dealing with than we may realize or admit. Through his eloquent verses, Silvia navigates the complexities of our modern world with empathy and wisdom, guiding readers toward a future rooted in compassion and unity. Silvia's words serve as a beacon of light in times of darkness, inspiring readers to embrace change and seek union amidst life's many challenges. Some personal favorites for me included the forgiving and celebratory impact of ‘Capacity’, the lyrical, dialogue- driven beauty of ‘The Sad Trees of 1970’, and the beautiful photo- story about flowers toward the end of the text. Overall, Cultivate Curiosity is a powerful work that poetry fans will adore, and I’d certainly recommend it to anyone looking to inspire more positive and motivational change in their own lives.”
