A grand message, a call to unity, a marshalling of comradery so compelling in these days of division and isolation where it is each one for themselves.
\"Come, gather
as family, as friends
or momentary acquaintances
titles, mean nothing
if it be with sincerity
we offer
our hands of camaraderie
and impregnable, solidarity\"
So true my friend.

\'twould be a better world indeed should we all feel this way. Stuck in a survivalist privative stage of our development we lash out with violence, greed, prejudice, need for power and hate. In our ignorance and blind arrogance we crush the very humanity that we profess. I am with you all the way my friend.

This one hits hard! RESPECT-\"there is room enough for all of us\"- Being respectful doesn\'t cost a thing! \"Our different shades, allowing us to paint\" I love this! Thank you for sharing!

Dear friend you have given me something here to think long and hard about. I read your poem yesterday and mulled over your insightful words. I think life challanges us from the moment of birth to the last breath. We think that we can control all the life in between, but the more we try the more anxious and disagreeable we become. Let go and simply live, or live simply. Thank you dearest poet! P.S. I love the video, one of my most favorite comedians.

It takes “grace” to move through “Normality” and for those nameless graves (which you beautifully wove into normalcy) grace nurtures spring blossoming: these thoughts can only rise from the purity of the heart of a great poet: thanks once more…

May’s magic
sorenbarrett said:
Such calming and glorious words
\"Glimmering notes as-if from a golden Harp
Graceful tones of tranquil cloud-like rays of sunshine
Glide breezily between slick verdure leaves\"
The tone of this poem sets one in the month of May with joyous weather whether one is in the Northern or Southern hemispheres.

Great wisdom in these words.
\"How much living is imbued in a sigh\"
This poem goes far deeper than the surface. How much we take for granted and do not even notice, let alone, give gratitude for. Yes love does matter. Love not just for others, or self, but all things. Beautiful words my friend.

Masterfully written as always L. B. Mek, such an ardent soliloquy you\'ve delivered here, with a message of both hope and esteem, but also a humbling message, stating that existence, though it may have it\'s troubles, is also a gift.
Bravo, and I hope that all is well!

I feel like you just described being awakened. Starting with \"empty\", then, \"grateful\", and finally \"grace\". This is when, regardless of the circumstances, we start noticing the small things, and actually enjoy them. Nothing is taken for granted.

Some great lines in here, like \"Escapism a prism of myopic dreamscapes\". Also sad ones like \"assuming other’s judgement surpasses our worth \". An interesting and thought-provoking read.

Beneath, my waiting tree
sorenbarrett said:
Heaven, Nirvana, elysian fields, inner peace, Valhala, whatever you call it we all long for it, search for it, wait for it but do we find it? If we could only find that path that takes us to the present moment, the only place where this place can reside. A lovely poem, a quest and epic journey.

Wow L.B. this opens the brain to so many possibilities and images. I loved the enternal rhyming.
\"Shimmy near, tethered fear, arriving here\"
So many good lines provoking thought
\"Detonating fear’s hate as breakfast n lullabies \"
\"Realism as our societal cesspool shackles \"
\"Scavenging to hoard money, as our mirage reprieve
Suffocating on interest rates, as our life’s receipt\"
\"Refracted hope as our journey’s yield\"
Dystopian or real?

In a world that judges, ultimately leading us to believe we\'re worthless. Fortunately we\'re also the solution.......if we choose to use our talents for good. Our words are powerful!

Somehow I think that ritual is as old as time, and treasured no matter how old you are. You paint such a vivid picture with words that I feel myself cheering right along. Great write!

How often we ask will these words be forgotten? What a wonderful metaphor the food and drink that we consume and is no more except in memory and a poem written to be left behind and maybe not tasted anymore. But here I am tasting this poem of yours and it tastes as fresh as when you wrote it.
