Rawlinson frequently breaks lines across stanzas (e.g., from stanza two to three). This creates a feeling of breathlessness, as if the hidden heart is trying to escape the poem’s own structure.
In this place, I find my peaceful nest, Where love and joy and calm find rest, It’s where I heal, where I am whole, And my true self is made known to my soul. the hidden heart of me poem by julia rawlinson
