Light
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Soren, there’s something peaceful in the way this moves from ember to flame to memory. The fire becomes more than warmth…it becomes a way of holding the day a little longer before night fully settles in. That final image says it perfectly…“it lives burning in one\'s head.” Beautifully crafted, as always, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This poem explores the transformative power of light, particularly in the context of memories, hope, and the cyclical nature of day and night. It illustrates how light—both literal and metaphorical—can illuminate our experiences and emotions, bringing warmth and life to what may feel lost or forgotten.

Fragile
Friendship said:
Your poem \"Fragile\" explores the tension between human aspirations for freedom and immortality and the inherent limitations imposed by our physical existence. The imagery of being \"prisoners\" of the world highlights the struggles of human existence, where our physical bodies, represented by the \"anchor of mass\" and \"ankle of glass,\" confine us to a mortal state. The theme revolves around the paradox of human evolution and the quest for transcendence, ultimately suggesting that despite our advancements, we remain bound by the laws of nature and the reality of entropy.

Soren, this made me think about how often humanity imagines escape… from gravity, from limits, even from time itself. Your poem gently reminds us that fragility travels with us wherever we go. That last line stayed with me: “Though we evolve we dissolve as we reach the farthest star.” A thoughtful reflection on our place in the universe. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Fine words soren showing the troubles we see to have in this world, we were all born on the same world and should be seen as true members of that world and not be segregated.

Wonderful poem Soren. Why must we be forced to choose and push away a part of ourselves? Not such a “free” country anymore. Choose our culture or where we live. If you choose either you face hate from both sides, a very strong conflict many of us are dealing with.

Soren, I appreciate the honesty in this… the refusal to let others force a choice between things that both belong to you. Life rarely fits into the neat divisions people demand. The poem honors that complexity with real grace. The ending carries that spirit well. “are joined in a world family today.” Thoughtful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Wow I did not know about the exclusive citizenship act… it feels like we’re going backwards! We should be citizens of earth!
Sigh nonetheless, great poem Soren

This is sadly happening in many countries, pressurizing people to conform to other people\'s beliefs and values or be cast aside. Americans do not seem to understand that they are all descended from immigrant blood and I would say they they therefore all have dual nationality genes in them. Unless you are from a indigenous tribe you are not a true American, I hope people like yourself continue to fight against the attempt to eradicate peoples heritage, belief and values to conform to one persons belief, I think history shows this doesn\'t end well, when one person attempts to do that.

This isn\'t an emotional thing at all, is it? You would by now have resolved the contributions offered to you in terms of genes and cultures by each parent, I suspect.
This then becomes a piece of bureaucratic bullshit which perhaps may limit your freedom of travel, or at least make it more difficult.
