While I Am
arqios said:
The poem\'s narrator appears to exist in the liminal space between inspiration and disappearance—“the one who writes slips quietly” is such an elegant way to describe the ego dissolving into the act of creation. It’s not despairing, but meditative, even hopeful. There’s comfort in the act of waiting, “not lost, but tied / To dreams the future hides inside. This poem doesn’t cry out for answers but it invites stillness, reflection, a shared silence between writer and reader. Like a page that holds more than ink: it holds presence. 🕊️🙏🏻

The Eternal Tides
arqios said:
A poem that speaks to the timeless dance between art and existence, a poignant exploration of our ability to imprint the ephemeral with meaning. Pointing at poetry’s dual role as a keeper of time and a healer of hearts, touching wounds while daring joy. And finally, the Timeless stanza rises triumphantly, turning the act of writing into a rebellion against time itself—a capture of eternity within fleeting lines. Issuing from the Past glowing with nostalgia, a flame that dances backward, illuminating the echoes of experience. The Future hums with possibility, the tide carrying dreams yet unformed. In the Present, the pulse of creation becomes sacred—where fleeting moments bloom into permanence.

Mottakeenur I have never done this before but I am only half way though reading this poem and so struck with its wisdom, beauty or wording that I had to begin to write this. It\'s incredible deep meaning put in such beautiful worded rhyme feels as though it has been written divinely and smoothed in the river of time like a stone. There are a few poems that in my weakness I envy and this is one. A fave after the first stanza

The final lines are especially powerful. \"Even your wounds are seeds\"-- what a perspective; to see pain not as something to avoid, but as something that will grow, transform, and add to the richness of life. There’s a deep trust in strength here, a reminder that courage isn’t something new—it’s something that has always existed within you. 🙏🏻🕊️

(You live because you burn, not just endure.
Even your wounds are seeds—
so love the sweet sting, the sweat,
hoard your memories like gold.)

Mottakeenur this poem is studded with one splendid metaphor after another the whole poem being symbolic in nature. This poem requires a good deal of meditation each line needing reflection. Like the ocean it is calm on the surface but deep. Most lovely

A magnificent portrayal of nature in all its color and splendor. Written from a seasoned pen of an artist that knows how to draw the reader in and waltz them through the garden to the end with warpaint and all. Lovely wording in this poem and divided well into passages.

Turning an old image into something new is always wondrous, one of the finest ways to make poetry speak. I am moved by the power of your war paint metaphor... but don\'t underestimate old Wordsworth. His poetry was a revolution of soft power, a hue and cry that the world need not be stingy and bland and monopolized by getting and spending, all work and no play. Keep them coming! Your works are serious stuff, never trite or disappointing!
