This really speaks to the give-and-take in a creative space. I like how you’ve highlighted that reading others is just as important as being read, very true and thoughtfully expressed.

Soren, lands…there’s a restless movement in this that never settles. It feels like being carried forward whether you’re ready or not, with no real control over the pace. That tension sticks. A fave. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Friendship said:
This took me a while to understand. I\'m not sure if I understood it right. Your poem seems to revolve around the journey of life, the weight of past experiences, and the inevitability of time. The poet reflects on how one navigates through life, dealing with the pressures and fears that come from encountering one’s past and the relentless forward motion of time. The metaphor of traffic symbolizes life\'s challenges, the passage of time, and the inability to turn back once choices are made.

Very true message
The difference between forgiving and accepting is letting go.
And this would could use a little more love

This is so real yet so sad.
This kind of really touched me and I wanted to thank you for sharing and writing this. I can really connect to it and I don\'t even know why.
(Could I probably use some quotes from it? With credits ofc. Thought about sending it a friend )

From one story:
— Kyndrat! Enough shaking your balls there! Come here and teach this little moth how to take a punch!
— Listen, little moth. If you’ve already come here at this hour, why would you just sit around?
— You, old Kyndrat, must have been a pretty good boxer back in the day.
— You’re right. At this hour I become a real fighter. I am Forgiveness.
— Yeah. And I guess you know how to avoid pain in painful things…
— You don’t. Live the pain. Feel what you feel.
— And then?
— The only evil you can defeat is inside you. It doesn’t matter how it got there.
— Okay. I felt the pain. I defeated the evil in myself. How do you defeat it, by the way?
— By fighting.
— And then?
— You must also know that a human is not their evil—there is something else there. Forgive not the evil, but the person. There is more than just evil in them.
— And what else?
— Something else.
— What does that look like in practice?
— A few words. A small presence. One great leap into the abyss.

Soren, this comes through with a quiet kind of clarity…no extra weight, just truth laid out plainly. That idea that forgiveness gives something back to the one offering it really anchors the whole piece. It’s simple, but it sticks...and sticks well. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Powerful words. Your poem deals with emotional resilience, the nature of forgiveness, and the transformative power of love. Your teaching helps readers to reflect on their experiences with anger and forgiveness, encouraging a positive outlook on interpersonal relationships.

This is powerful and full of truth. We offer forgiveness and the gift is ours in return.
Such an important life lesson. We do so often hang on to the anger. Letting it go
is freedom. Have a fantastic weekend.

Human kindness, empathy, compassion and those who show it rarely even need it back as it is done without thought so that\'s why it works as they don\'t expect it, they are unselfish souls. as usual your poetry is beautiful and always worth gold. 🌹 💜

There is nothing better than putting on your overalls and looking at the job in hand.
Then after a cup of coffee, looking at the job again.
Tomorrow seems a good time to look at that job in depth.
Decision made.

Soren, this hits with a creeping tension that doesn’t let up…you can feel it building from the first breath. It’s not explosive, it’s invasive…like something closing in slowly but surely. I\'ve felt this. A fave.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

What a very powerful poem. I can honestly say I could relate to this. 2 years and 4 months ago, my therapist thought I was a lab rat and decided to do a new thing with therapy. It was beyond my control, the situation. A year of torture. I understand these feelings, the struggle between fear and resilience in the face of overwhelming circumstances. Your poem addresses themes of anxiety, uncertainty, and the human experience of confronting emotional and mental storms. You use the metaphor of a tempest to illustrate the poet\'s feelings of despair and the fight against overwhelming forces. Well written, Soren Barrett
