Deep reflection and honesty here. Somehow we manage to find the counterbalance to those scars that life seems inflicts upon us, we have to keep moving forward. Well penned!

I am all things
Bella Shepard said:
For me you have described so beautifully in this poem the very essence of our existence. The last two lines especially resonate deeply. This is certainly a favorite

As a child I would wonder how much of us remain after all that exfoliation, cell replacements, haircuts, nail trimming, and the like.... thoroughly enjoyed this poem! Thanks Soren.

The fifth degree
arqios said:
Loving the compound and interactive metaphor here Soren. When we were kids, a short ways ago there was talk of getting the third degree for misdemeanours that were frowned upon even by the naughtiest of young people. But taking it to the fifth, that is an intensity and a world of pain that one would not wish for oneself of any other. Thanks for sharing.

Such wisdom at the heart of your poem. Birth, life, death, how can we understand the whole? Your words offer much to contemplate.

Tuned into MPS and there was your piece, saying exactly how i\'m feeling about love of life having just spoken with my cancer specialist.
Faith is there for us in all its many manifestations and proves such a strength.

youthful songbird

from such a young, age...)

Those are the sort of things which keep me out of any butchers shop on the high street.
Flesh and bone butchered in war has the same aura.

(forgive my rudeness, dear poet
I wanted to share with you
on of my fav Bukowski poems
so you may see, how favourably it compares with your write)
\'The Loser\' by Bukowski:
\'and the next I remembered I’m on a table, everybody’s gone: the head of bravery under light, scowling, flailing me down . . . and then some toad stood there, smoking a cigar: “Kid you’re no fighter,” he told me, and I got up and knocked him over a chair; it was like a scene in a movie, and he stayed there on his big rump and said over and over: “Jesus, Jesus, whatsamatta wit you?” and I got up and dressed, the tape still on my hands, and when I got home I tore the tape off my hands and wrote my first poem, and I’ve been fighting ever since.\'

It\'s a gas
L. B. Mek said:
\'and that patient cheese
awaits
that backup, mouse...\'
(when we see and choose to affirm
reality
without airbrushing, those parts
we\'re not too fond of
then life\'s, as simple as smoke
signals
and self prevention, simply
requires us to wear
a few smile painted gas masks;
for
all that bul sht, of \'sayings\'
and their intention of narrowing
our perspectives, can be laughed
away
as easily as Helios giggled, his helium
in defiance, of all taking themselves
too seriously
for the truth is:
\'Gaiety, is wiser than wisdom\'...)
such a clever write
really well realised
thought provoking to say the least
thank you! dear Poet

to untangle a tight knot
we never, wade-in to that
impregnable core
instead, we steadily
begin to work from the looser
outside threads
ergo
when dealing with such
debilitating, issues in our lives
we must first identify
a place, or point in our strife
that\'s seemingly
a little less painful to work on
and then layer by layer
progress after progress, we fight
till we surpass that peace milestone
and go-on to strive
for serenity, itself..
that\'s the sales pitch, ideal
we\'ll take landing, anywhere near
in the vicinity of that dream..
the key word, as always
is patience
as-in, being patient with ourselves
so as to believe, in ourselves..
in Hope, we Intrust!
stay Strong, dear Poet
\'simply, let it be\' take your lead
from there
our illusion of power, shatters quickly
in the face of fate, but
that doesn\'t mean we\'re powerless
merely
we\'re fighting, outside
of our weight class..
(forgive me if this all sounds patronising
I meant no disrespect)

Fine description of how something can completely unbalance us so that we are no longer what we were, what we were used to being. When something so devastating it strikes at the very core of our existence and of where we fit in this world.
Evoked memories for me of times when i was lost. Well written compact piece.

L. B. Mek said:
erm, this is a little scary
may i ask
what is it, your muse
did
to be subjected, to such
a ritualist - form
of assassination
is this
some kind of Halal, mercy?
lol
(flipped it on ya, eh?
forgive me
for being rude, hope
you can understand
why I turned to humour
to take the obsidian edge
of these, rather bleak

Sadly, in Britain, one must suffer in quietude. Retorting in violence is a grievous offence now. Truth be told, we\'ve become a load of pussies.
