Even in the \'Easy Life\' there can be hardship.
Can\'t really escape it. But Hardship in comfort would help a lot. Good one.

Soren, I like how this acknowledges that people can endure and adapt to almost anything… yet emotional wounds sometimes cut deeper than physical ones. That contrast feels very true to my experience and to life itself. Powerful, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The poem speaks of possibilities one can have in spite of handicaps. Thus, the broken wing does not prevent singing. The blind still has his ears to hear and can hear comments made on him by others. A clawless cat can hold down a rat and finish it of with its teeth. The rat made the mistake of thinking the cat was totally powerless. The one-armed man can not only dance but also wield a handgun --- with the other arm... Both starting with and parting with a broken heart is a handicap that has consequences.

To me this is about ability and possibilty and the inability of trying with a broken heart. Many of us don\'t try because we have been put down so often,Very well constructed compadre.Enjoyable read

I am ABLE to say this is a good write SB.
There is a Lenten them and verse that says God does not despise a broken and a contrite heart, though I think this means in a more \'spiritual\' sense of being sorry for our sins - a theme often covered in Lent. Not that God wants us to remain sorrowful, broken-hearted, helpless, etc.
Meanwhile - Oh I\'m not contrite with KP - I still dish up the sewage with not regret or remorse. And I don\'t repent, I never turn from it or change it, though she says \'Oh no, sewage again, you wicked sinner!\' heehee.

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.
