Your poem captures the stark beauty of the changing seasons so well. The imagery of the land's transformation under a bleak sky is striking. I appreciate how you evoke the feeling of a "comatose" landscape. Thank you for sharing this evocative piece, of continuing to express your unique perspective!

surfaced
all the voices
gathered on my digital scream
somewhere on a site
devoted to stream
i wield words aflame
i share and laugh with joy
alone but never lonely
look at what the web has
given me
a liberated mind
touched by global threads
something that shines
brighter than any daytime opery
Hope my reply brings a sneer!

A well captured scene on books and reading, each tome a fresh cast that reels in emotions and vicarious experiences ultimately peace which is a highly priced catch. Both vivid and contemplative, it celebrates the transformative power of reading.

Quite contemplative and vividly captures a moment of stillness and introspection, using striking metaphors and surreal imagery. I much enjoyed the tone of quiet reflection, exploring the transient nature of existence through ethereal descriptions of everyday objects. Here the mundane transforms into a source of wonder, inviting its reader to pause and reflect on their surroundings.

Quite interesting to note that faith is internal and individual only able to be reflected or recognised in others. From this reading I understand that this mirror effect reflects both parties involved. How it ends up may just entirely depend on ourselves in the end, being born alone and thus exiting alone at curtain time. Much food for thought here 👍🏻

The word “quit” rises from these lines and perhaps with it a varied number of avenues that intertwine and meander. There perhaps are clues in the shadows shaded by our poetry but they are no guarantee but a feel for answers. We that are here now are left to carry on, picking up the pieces and mending the void that they once occupied. Is that a black hole to flee from or to warp through, only the future can tell.

I find it is never truly fixed vision but rather a general direction and a wispy goal like making out an object in the distance through the fog; only going forward toward it does it make itself clear, the journey being the joy and the complete work (if it ever is in a complete state) a somewhat added bonus. Something like that… I must away to bring these thoughts and notions to a better cohesion.

Remembrance can be overly visual at times but accompanied by fragrance and emotional feeling, even a trigger sound like the breeze among the blooming flowers aid the memory and chances are you will be remembered because you can be unforgettable.

Couldn’t agree more- the social atmosphere is no longer conducive for the religious observance, let alone to contemplate the cloud of witnesses that have gone before us (surrounding us) and our very dearly departed (a growing list, one could say).

Reminds me of ailments that would attack a person's cognitive faculties. The opening reminded me of a somewhat lost princess in Rome of Roman Holiday fame. Its lines evoke a world that explores the more complex layers of fear—hints at the challenges and progression of mental illness and basic anxiety. Ultimately, it strikes a chord, serving as a tender reminder of how emotional connections both enrich and overshadow our lives.
