Dreams of Life Unlived
Paul Bell said:
Sometimes goals just present themselves without actually having to achieve them. Must admit, I never set goals, they just lead to disappointment.

Caring dove said:
I’m sorry you feel scared . I understand what it’s like to feel scared … and to want something different but to fear making change
This a good poem and you have expressed yourself very well
Maybe one day you can move past the fear ?
Writing can be a nice escape

\'How subtle the plummeting waves,
Their grace still loud enough
To anchor the weary mind.
Yet still melancholic,
And uniform,
Chanting blessings as they divide.\'
a brilliant stanza!
to what is a somewhat intense, yet relatable read
thanks for choosing to share, dear poet

Beautifully written. My favorite line..
“On days like these thoughts fill my head,
And I forget the air up here, is thin.”
I definitely relate to this today, I seem to be lost up there.
Thank you for sharing. ❤️

The God of all Creation
L. B. Mek said:
Brilliant!
you\'ve so very cleverly - outlined
the hypocrisy
in our limited scope, to comprehend
the meaning
behind the word, \'creation\'
since, we
can only perceive
the word
warped, by our fallible
perception: of Self..
alas, how?
can we ever imagine, creating anything
that\'s not imbued, at some level
by our very, Nature
to poison and fester - all
that we interact with, in existence...
\'we\'
but mere fleetingly, finite
cohorts
of such a seemingly, infinite
Chaotically aligned, universe!
(a great write
can\'t help but ponder
the many levels
you scratch, awake
into our awareness
with your poetry\'s, brevity)

Well it’s not about religion as such
I guess it’s start with us and then rest follows
Each drop makes an ocean but what if each drop is an ocean itself
Good one dear poet

NB, I appreciate the ambiguous, Miltonian tone and inscrutable nature of your \"one.\" Each of us is the center of the universe at each moment in space and time. Playful and tight little piece. BTW, Orchidee, we in the States say \"armor\" because our tongue is descended from the low-brow classes, not your haughty Chaucerian high style of London English! Plus we did not want to confuse the word with \"amour.\" I bet it\'s all derived from the Great Vowel Shift!

I\'m more mad (angry? not really. lol) over that \'armor\'. Who\'s these people missing out \'u\'s? Ain\'t they got no \'u\' on their keyboard?!
It\'s American spellings. You will say \'Why you UK people keep adding extra \'u\'s\'? lol.
We must know these things - they are matters of life and death - not!
