Wow. Powerful poem, full of depth. This is a wonderful metaphor that can be interpreted in a few very impactful ways. In this, I initially read it as the passing of life to death and, how, death is really providing comfort and relaxation from a long, tiring, but worthy existence. Well done, my friend. Beautiful! 🌹👏

Your poem masterfully weaves together the transition from day to night, the changing seasons, specifically the vibrant hues of fall, and the profound emotional weight of memory and wisdom that comes with aging. The imagery evokes a sense of hope and renewal, while simultaneously hinting at the comfort found in rest and acceptance at the end of one\'s day.

A hauntingly graceful verse—quietly powerful, with a gentle melancholy that lingers.

The seasons with all their feels, changes, and challenges also bring their own special “delight.” So much like life. Thank you, Soren, for the introspection. I felt the coolness of the shadows, the loneliness of darkness coming way too soon. But I also snuggled in tired to a warm bed with a comfy quilt. Now I’m ready for another go of it!

You have a rare mind that sees hidden things, fleeting occurrences, the connection between things... In short you have vision.
**VISION. A great poet has spiritual insight and can see truths that others do not. Poets have, in moments of vision, the power of understanding, by a kind of instinct, things, their qualities and the relations between them, which ordinary people cannot see. All true poetry is the product of vision or imagination, for it is the expression of it. The poet idealises the real. There is suggestiveness in great poetry. It suggests or implies much more than it says.**

Your poem contrasts memories of innocence with the harsh realities of commercialization and urbanization. In it, you express a deep sense of loss and nostalgia for a familiar place that has undergone significant transformation, highlighting the conflict between memory and change. It reflects on how progress can alter landscapes and erase personal histories. Could the metaphor be \"Change\'s theft\"? It personifies change as a thief, emphasizing the loss experienced.

Very nice and original rhymes. Indeed, it can be quite an experience to get back to your memorable places only to find them irreversibly changed and forsaken.

“Watch your thoughts,

The tragedy is that we have no control over our thoughts. Hitler’s mind told him to wage wars, regardless. We know the consequences. It is the same with all those who launched wars. Thoughts lead in the end to character, which itself defines your destiny.
In the end, we have no control over the whole process.
