My friend, this is rich…the forest as mother, spirit, keeper of old wisdom. Every sound and shadow adds to that living presence. You brought the whole Mato to life. Love it, Soren! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Hi Soren,
I saw that this poem was listed in Poems from the community trending this week that Julian emailed today. I\'m guessing this happens fairly frequently and there are others whose poems I have also read. I understand that it\'s about your disgust with our country. I have no issue with that. But I don\'t fully understand what the last line means. Can you explain, or would you rather not, or am I just too dense?
Thanks,
Perdita

To brief, who\'s speaking the last line: the \"fly herder\" or the poet? Am I even more dense?

Well written. The poem “Mysteries of the Mato” revolves around the deep connection between nature and human experience. It celebrates the rich, mystical qualities of the forest, highlighting its sounds, sights, and the wisdom it holds. The poet captures the beauty and serenity of nature, the spiritual presence of the past, and the nurturing aspects of the earth, while contrasting them with the chaotic and lifeless elements of urban life. Yet your poem serves to remind readers of the importance and beauty of nature, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the natural world and its mysteries, especially in contrast to the chaotic nature of urban living. It invites reflection on the spiritual and nurturing aspects of the environment, suggesting that solace and wisdom can be found in the embrace of nature.

It is strange that once upon a time man was part of the forest, and they lived hand in hand.
Did man progress and move on, leaving the forest behind.
It seems as the years have gone by, the forest has kept its dignity, but man has lost his way.

A fine write SB, and with skill rhyming the end of lines, and also within the last lines of each verse. Some hymns with longer lines rhyme mid-lines as well as end-lines, which is skilful, I think. KP asks me \'What rhymes with sewage?\' so she can write a poem about what I feed her. lol.

Soren, this is wild in the best way…a playful tumble of language that bends every line back on itself. It’s clever, fast, and full of a sharp wink! Love it, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

OH My, what a delightful poem. This poem revolves around the concept of paradox and the playful nature of language. It explores the idea of dual meanings and the absurdity present in everyday phrases and objects. The poet consists of a series of whimsical, imaginative descriptions that juxtapose familiar terms with unexpected associations, highlighting the absurdity and humor in language and life. The poem seems to be crafted for enjoyment and reflection, encouraging readers to consider the quirks of language and the humor inherent in the way we describe our world. Its whimsical nature invites readers to engage with language creatively, provoking thought and laughter.

Apparently you can\'t step in the same River twice. And maybe we are not the same person today that was here yesterday.
Aren\'t we dying every day?
Well said.

Soren, this lands with a steady force…the falling petals, the dropped coat, the scales shaved away. I’ve known that kind of slow awakening myself, and you write it with a grounded honesty. Love it, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The poem revolves around the theme of transformation and renewal. It explores the process of shedding layers of the past, confronting decay, and ultimately awakening to new possibilities. The poet reflects a journey through despair and loss, symbolized by imagery of decay and twilight, leading to a moment of clarity and rebirth, represented by the arrival of a new day.

This could be the decay of life, old bones tired eyes living out life.
At some point, the eyes won\'t open ever again to a new day.

I really hate anger, especially my own. But I just want to point out that, for some people, mental illness comes prepackaged with its own punishment. So, there\'s really no need for dad, or mom, to get out the \"strap\", no matter what form it might take.
My impression, from the other comments, is that perhaps I\'m taking your words too literally. Still, I really felt compelled to speak up.
