In a world that keeps insisting on the supposed reality of \"black and white\" in just about every facet, including morals, politics, race, religion, etc., it is hard to see any of that through the ashen misty gray that surrounds us 24/7, 365. Well done. An instant fave!

Good poem… I like to think there’s a breathe and then there’s no breathe… there’s times we choose to breathe and there’s times we are on auto pilot… I choose to love all the time until it’s auto pilot

The poem delves into philosophical inquiries about truth, morality, and human behavior, using contrasting concepts to highlight the complexity and fluidity of these themes. It explores the ambiguity of truth and morality, suggesting that perceptions are subjective and that dichotomies such as right/wrong, love/hate, and existence/nothingness are not as clear-cut as they appear. The poet raises questions about the nature of human experience and the transformations that shape our understanding of reality.

All us living humans have our own truth and our own thoughts, we don\'t always have to agree, I find this most definitely thought provoking, my right can also be your wrong. 🌹

Powerful, my friend! Amen. I was just saying that to someone...I don\'t write poetry just for myself. It starts there, of course, but it merely starts there. This applies for all potential...and what a tragedy when one\'s potential is not met. Well done. Urgent message. A fave from me. 🌹👏

I\'m intrigued by your title! Unknot the not!
OMG, this one had me thinking, well done, the word you used in your title has so many different meanings and can be used many different ways, well done, lesson learned for me today, how the words we use can precipitate conflict with others. Your poem\'s purpose is to ignite profound reflection on the significance of our actions and experiences, inspiring the reader to embrace and live life to the fullest. It serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative importance of expression and connection in illuminating life\'s intangible aspects. You also illuminate the profound value of experiences and actions that are not realized or expressed, revealing that beauty, joy, power, and kindness radiate their greatest significance when shared, acknowledged, and deeply felt.

Science in a Nazarene\'s hair
Doggerel Dave said:
Your ‘just a poem’ has provoked many detailed and complex responses, Soren. Raises the question: what purpose has ‘just a poem’? I’m not going there – this was just a comment.
My simple mind sees it quite…. simply. Religion and Science try to answer two different questions: Religions asks ‘why’? (and in my view haven’t found the answer yet, but seem very satisfied with their conclusions), while Science continually attempts to answer the question ‘how’ and is never satisfied, realizing the depths of our ignorance and the existence of multiple unknowns.
Finally, there is no need for the \'why\' and \'how\' to ever collide, they should be on two different pathways.

Too much
rrodriguez said:
Soren, your poem, \'Too Much,\' is indeed the lot we all share. But life is beautiful, and there\'s much more for us to experience. I\'ve enjoyed your poem and reflected on it. Life is indeed, at times, \"too much\" to bear.

Weeping
Tristan Robert Lange said:
This speaks of grief and uses what I imagined to be a Weeping Willow Tree as its metaphor. Powerful and true. Grief overrun, unchecked, can shade out any chance of life or growth, leading to decay. As I see it, psychological decay, physiological decay, and spiritual decay. On needs to find balance to have the ability to move from shade to light. Well done, my friend! A fave. 🖤🌹

Well done,Soren,Your poem explores themes of loss, grief, and the passage of time through the metaphor of a tree, conveying profound emotional pain and mourning. The tree serves as a symbol of resilience in the face of sorrow and the inevitability of decay accompanying loss. The tree symbolizes the human heart and emotions, articulating the experience of grief and loss. This poem appears to be written from the perspective of a speaker who identifies with the tree, sharing its emotional journey. Your poem endeavors to capture the universal experience of grief and the impact of loss on one\'s emotional state, inviting the reader to reflect on their own experiences with sorrow and the passage of time.
