Fear of Falling

Visually stunning Neville, though your words touch on an emotional level. It is looking very much like autumn and those leaves tumbling and dancing in the wind speak to me of freedom. Hoping each day finds you healthier and stronger.

Fear of Word Blindness
Friendship said:
Well written, my friend, your poem \"Fear of Word Blindness\" explores the tension between the desire for expression and the fear of losing one\'s ability to communicate effectively. It juxtaposes the chaotic, overwhelming noise of modern life with the serene contemplation of ancient scribes, highlighting the struggle between clarity and obscurity. The imagery of fragile objects, such as champagne flutes and lacquered tsuba, signifies the delicacy of language and art, while the fear of “word blindness” suggests a deep-seated anxiety about the limitations of words in conveying profound meaning.

There is an image here that is so Zen as I meditated on this I see silence in the materials above and below that is filled with the noise of history loud ecos of silence and the fear of not being able to hear it if one can not read it either in words of attention to detail. We live in a society that is becoming less religious and also less attentive to detail a population of ADD with short attention spans. A nice touch adding the monk for it is in meditation that there is enlightenment that needs no adulation. Another nice touch in the tsuba where a family crest may honor a family history and can be seen through like the translucent ivorine. Very refined work here Neville that dives deep into the psyche a fave

Thanks Neville. I feel a rich picture has been described here, but I cannot quite bring it into focus.
Any chance of some notes?

A fine write, Neville. Summer does seem to be over very suddenly. And it is getting dark by eight o\'clock.

it may be a free fall, and one may land in the soft cushion of dead leaves or may thud on the hard ground, depending on our luck

They may fall, but for a brief time we enjoy their beautiful colors, we even try to catch them as they drift to the ground. Such a lovely poem to welcom autumn, more than ready here.

Indeed seasons come and go and so do our seasons. Although some seem sad with the passing it is just as easy to be glad with the coming or better yet just observe the beauty of it all. Lovely Neville so fitting any time of year or age.
