At first read, this comes off as a poem about empathy and compassion; however, some clues might alter that initial reading. Words such as pity and weapon. The lines: “no one can ignore / This a weapon of the mind refined / Treating the enemy as one below, disarming the hardest blow / Now shrunken the largest foe, disemboweled their ego”, are further evidence that this is someone who is using pity, compassion and empathy against others as weapon, perhaps utilizing it as a way of building themselves up why cutting others down. So, while this initially sounds like a sincerely compassionate person, he/she turns out to be a narcissist, weaponizing those otherwise good things against others for their own gain. Well done on this, my friend. A multi-layered and rewarding read. ❤️🙏 I apologize for my absence for the last couple of days. Been hit hard with a nasty cold. Finally, I feel somewhat alive again! LOL!

This is a powerful poem, Soren. Your poem advocates for a change in perspective regarding how we approach conflict. It suggests that fostering understanding and compassion can lead to more effective and just resolutions than reliance on violence and revenge. I like how you use the metaphor of weapons to represent emotional and psychological tools. For example, You use \"Pity\'s sword of steel\" which symbolizes the strength of compassion. You create a striking contrast between violence and kindness.

At times when one has a clear advantage, pity per se is indeed the most welcome and ultimate gift .. however, those that use it as a weapon will ultimately lose that advantage on what will become an uneven playing field .. this feels like something that is being played out write now .. and I note not a drop of ink wasted ..

I\'m a grand believer that some thrive on pity, I myself am not a fan of those sorts, I am a grand believer of justice ⚖️ and ego well, you know me well enough to know that\'s a thing I really dislike, I want to show you a line I love more but in this case it\'s every line, so powerful and indeed is the very reason I myself do not believe in God. Kudos, you just interpreted my own thoughts of today. 🤗 🌹

Soren, Your poem aims to celebrate the power of friendship, offering comfort and hope to those who may feel isolated or in mourning. It serves as a reminder that true friendships can transcend challenges and continue to provide light and warmth in our lives.You used Words like \"sun,\" \"light,\" \"darkest storm,\" \"cold world,\" and \"mourning\" to evoke strong visual and emotional responses. The juxtaposition of warmth and cold highlights the contrast between friendship and loneliness.

Fear
Friendship said:
Soren, your poem revolves around the overwhelming sensation of fear and anxiety. It depicts the paralyzing effect of fear that looms over time, creating a sense of impending doom and dread. Your poem focuses on the internal struggle with fear, how it manifests physically and emotionally, and the desire to avoid confronting the reality that fuels this fear, which I know so well. Yet there\'s nobody there to help or understand you. you\'re alone with all these fears in a dark box Feeling so hopeless alone and most of all Broken!

Very well written,Soren,as a person myself that grow up on water,Your poem can be interpreted as a reflection on humanity\'s relationship with the sea, exploring both its nurturing and destructive aspects. The imagery evokes a timeless quality, suggesting a connection to ancient myths and the origins of life. The overall tone indicates a reverence for nature, urging a person to contemplate their place within this vast, interconnected ecosystem.

The poet’s words fall
as tear drops
Whatever horrors befall this earth, there will always be poets around who will record it with their own tears. There’s going to be alot of rain before the sun comes out.
Powerful write. Thought provoking.

There is so much here to ponder and dwell on .. but for me, perhaps the most encouraging and enlightening thing is that so many of us who write on a regular basis imagine the same and such similar things and variously weave them into our daily offerings.. Note to self go check on box of loose photos asap .. N
