\"Catfish traffic lights \"
I\'m trying to deny any of this describes me
But I do follow your good self
And must slap a like on this superb write

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

Jazz State Of Mind
Bobby O said:

Absolutely love this but Jazz to Jazz please permit a tiny request to slightly adjust an angle of view. ?
0They don\'t understand
that we are merely paintings”
I’m hopeful you might consider a promotion from MERELY PAINTINGS” to a modifier w a touch more reverence?
“They don’t understand our sophisticate of style lends its cache’ to paintings regal, elegantly ( authentically??) born, in arts chivalry mode…”
Upping this modifier doesn’t wrinkle the wonderful fabric of the piece and it slightly shifts the status of Jazz within the framework of the piece . Jazz gets promoted and a limiting word “merely “ waits for another spot to play ??
Just Sayin’

I have no words to show my gratitude for such a moving response. May healing and peace find the heart of man, always. We live and we learn sir, and from that we grow. Blessings and grace to you.

Carrying Water
L. B. Mek said:

\'and the overwhelming rubix cube of emotions I’ve had to learn to untangle over time to try make sense of myself,\'

\'I don’t know how I gathered myself up, from the scattered pieces that came from being a part of you.\'

\'If only I had enough fodder to make it true when I say the words I love you, I\'m certain it would secure me the longing and affection I envy in others when they speak of home\'

\'Something inside said I should commit these to paper. Something I cannot explain.\'

\'These words are not my own anymore. I release them. They belong to the paper now. I need my children to shed tears of a different kind,\'

\'I cannot trace and tell the mute awkward questions in our eyes\'

\' I don\'t mind carrying this water, for the both of us - only now, I got too used to walking alone.\'

Brilliant!
(Poetic genius, purposed
as cathartic, self expression
insuring
that inherited cycle, ends
with our life\'s inequitable
footsteps...)
may these words soothe
your heart\'s callouses, dear Poet
I too have some experience
of a mother I cherish and love
whose presence in my life, is toxic
to say the least...
stay strong!
(I read and learn)

these words were sadly enjoyed more than my conscience is prepared to admit ..

such an emotionally charged outpouring .. how could anyone not be moved by them .. Neville

Thank you so much... She took various shapes in molding and some elusiveness in trying to cast the fluidity into image, but, I\'m happy with the final end product - No more edits! 😂. Much much appreciated, Peto! ❤
