So very true. It is like that with songs, which I\'ve experienced so many times and also through scents, which too is overwhelming.

I appreciate the sentiment of your poem. How you can feel lonely even when surrounded by beauty.

probably because those trumpets
are attuned
to the pulse of our ancestral dreams and feats..

When Love Dies
Caring dove said:
Great poem o like how you have expressed yourself in this
It’s sad yet I especially like these lines
each shaping the other
like pieces of clay
where you and I once flew
a bright kite we called love
May the good coming rains
wash all hurt\'s tears away
Love the mention of that bright kite

It had mattered not, if this poem was penned out of Love or Hurt. It is written with care in every descriptive stanza. Very exquisite…

When Love Dies
Garth Rakumakoe said:
Accept my gratitude, dear Nev... This piece wrote itself in many ways. To love is to hurt at times my friend. We live, learn, and strive to grow, and become wiser. It was one of those avenues. Sleep and blessings to you, from my window of the world friend. 🙏🏼

Warm And Tender Love
Jennifer George said:
Your reflection on the passage of time and how your perspective has evolved, especially through the eyes and innocence of your little one, is really heartwarming. The transformative power of love and the way it can heal past wounds, leaving behind valuable memories and a renewed appreciation for the present. Sooo good!!

Caring dove said:
A good writing
Especially like these words
Today, my teardrops are pennies, and my heartaches are gold.
Sadness turned into joy )
Difficult when we don’t feel enough love then we have to somehow find it within ourselves and from other people
Nice that you have a child ..
We all need to feel love from someone else
And learn how to love ourselves I guess

WOW! The commentary on our society in this illuminating poem is tragic but oh, so true. We seem to be losing our ability to communicate face to face, and to put words together in a coherent and meaningful way. Who knows what we will eventually evolve into, but I hope and pray that the poets may lead us back when we lose our way. Thank you dear poet, keep your insightful words flowing!

apparently, to explain
our capacity to navigate, with nose
submerged in pixel screens
science decided we get a sixth sense
just by our ears..
huh. so this is progress
reverse engineering from our failings
nice, i wonder what we\'ll come up with next
maybe we\'ll lose our capacity to speak
and engineer less fingers, we only need
one to text and swipe and a thumb
with magnetic properties
..
so crazy, go back a few decades
and all of this would be coming
out of a surreal sci-fi fantasy
lol
fun times, front row seats to humanity\'s regression
(acute commentary, delivered
with a little humour
a therapeutic read
thank you! dear Poet)

I am convinced it has become a conditioned reflex and in years to come our species will have evolved to consist only of a large head, a much smaller & weak torso .. hardly anything will remain of our lower limbs and an oversized thumb with an indentation or ledge somewhere to rest or hold our mobile/cell phones ..

Hi Garth .. a sad writing .. tho expressed well ) I’m sorry for your hurt over the lack of a real relationship with your sister
I can understand how relationships with your family can feel difficult sometimes / or not even feel like you can even relate or feel that close to others
