Tristan Robert Lange said:
Soren, there’s a compelling tension here between comfort and surrender…bread and a soft bed on one side, but a birthright quietly traded away on the other. The metaphor of becoming a passenger while society takes the wheel gives the whole piece a reflective, cautionary tone. Strong closing image and a strong poem, my friend. A fave, for sure.. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

There are breakers in or life that save us and there are breakerless expanses that free us and where the wind blows takes us to them it seems! A fave, Soren 🙏🏻🕊️

Soren, this carries a beautiful sense of calm acceptance… the movement of breakers rising and falling mirrors life perfectly. The idea that we return to what we always were gives the whole piece a quiet, cosmic peace. Lovely reflection. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This feels like a quiet meditation on where we come from and where we return.
Simple lines carrying a big, cosmic kind of truth.

Ah yes, before we see the view we have to climb the mountain. I try to appreciate the misfortunes that fall upon me because often something wonderful comes after. Great poem Soren.

The curse relieves stress and motivates evasive or corrective action? Is there room for a couple more stanzas there , Soren?

Soren, this reads like a meditation on perspective…how quickly we resent the very things that once served us well. The sun, the storm, even the flat tire after miles of faithful work…each image quietly reframes frustration into gratitude. It’s simple, reflective, and leaves a lasting thought behind. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

You’ve certainly joined company with some widespread cultural beliefs here, Soren and reworked some familiar ideas in this very pleasing piece: patina, an imperfection in a middle eastern carpet (only God is perfect) and the Japanese celebration of pottery breakages in decorative repairs. You are in good standing
