I\'ve read and re_read this several times soren
It is fascinating
All from a seed fighting the odds to survive
Becomes a magnificent oak
That becomes a home for the feller to start a family
Then I think his coffin is made from it
And new seeds begin.. weed/tree line
Could be completely wrong here
Hence my late comment
Just get a vibe about how everything is connected
I\'m rambling a bit so will leave it there
Either way it is a great poem with plenty to think about

This poem is rich with layered metaphor; time as both tormentor and muse, language as bloodletting and balm. It dances between clarity and obscurity, daring the reader to chase meaning while warning that meaning may be a mirage. I love how it challenges interpretation while rewarding immersion.

There is so much skill here involving weaving such a distinct narrative ending with again such poetic ethereal wisdom. The imagery is beautiful and is it iambic octameter? Or close. Im probably wrong here. Regardless the rhyme structure is so enchanting. I am such an earnest fan of your writing Sir. I look forward to the next piece. Elizabeth

I still I can\'t believe that the poem is so \'short\'...; yet, comes across as being extremely powerful.
It kind of makes me think that anybody could choose their own style of poem...be it one line/two lines/three lines/four...;
and, just make that into being their own strict rule...; then, build up going from there...by writing more and more such poems;
eventually, one hopes one would be a \'master\' of such a style.

Hello, Soren,
From timber built a house, a home, the family\'s roots, a family raised and from timber built their caskets. Of nature and man in a most splendid poem. Well done indeed.
Fond regards,
Tony.

I see a home that has been deeply cherished built from nothing and even though time has led it\'s rot, there are bones in its surroundings that will always make it home. I see memories of life 🌹

Such beautiful illuminated poetic verse, the rhythm and elevated descriptive terms and concepts propel the piece forward giving it a tone of revelatory prophetic inference. This is poetry at divine inspiration level- honestly your words and lines are each individually breathtaking to read they are so poetic and beautiful and you deal with concepts like light and dark, cosmic and celestial conceptual imagery, immortality, legacy, death, memory, time, character, good and evil, perception.... all within 6 lines of ethereal poetic imagery- a masterclass in brevity with true substance and meaning. I am in awe of this piece- it\'s brilliant. Thankyou for.producing this Sir! Sincerely, Elizabeth

Very good write, as usual! ;-)
At first, I thought this poem was going to be all \'comedy and fiction\': Lawrencium; then, with the last two lines...everything \'changed\'...into becoming deadly serious.

Wow, again. You are a really wonderful writer.
I can\'t help but feeling that what happens to us in life...;
whether we meet friend/or, foe, next...is for a reason.
And, for some reason, having only joined this site just yesterday;
I have had the uncommon luck to run into your works...;
something which I find to be very highly \'inspiring\', indeed. ;-)
You know how to take \'risks\' when writing poems...;
and, will do so really quite \'fearlessly\'.

Interesting...the poem seems to show mankind\'s ever constant fierce struggle moving between both life and death. Fantastic! ;-)
I appreciate \'the sheer rawness\'...; and, also, the sense of totally unrelenting \'pressure\'...

A good afternoon from here, Soren,
When you take away all the philosophies, the religions, the political systems, the markets and borders, it all boils down to this poem - the mud of memory and good and evil are but one. A superlative and profound passage of poetic wisdom. Much praise for this one, one to linger well after the reading.
Your fellow poet and friend,
Tony.
