Don\'t throw them away you don\'t know what is inside

Don’t throw anything away. You never know the gift within. Hidden life waits in broken things. A crack can let new light through. Silence can still sing its song. Small wonders shine without words. Listen to the quiet voices. Believe in unseen potential. Something to take to heart every moment of every day.

Dont discard people just because they look different or you don\'t understand them, try getting to know the person inside the shell you don\'t like the look off, nicely expressed and written, enjoyed the read

Powerful and thought-provoking, this reminds us not to judge too quickly or discard what we don’t fully understand. Nicely done 👍

Very well crafted and an eternally interesting topic. Reading this makes me stop and think about it all, which is good.

Dreams had such a wonderful, mystical aura, before we neurologically disected them. This beautiful poem evokes a mysticism that I think we will always choose hold on to. Excellent write!

What a beautifully layered piece, Soren. The mythic thread woven through sleep, memory, and renewal gives this an almost sacred weight. That final stanza brings it home quietly, yet powerfully. Truly, an excellent job, my dear friend. 🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ A fave!

Hello, Soren,
In a state of complete contentment to be interrupted by a sense, this is too good to be true, resulting in a strange form of paranoia, worrying for the simple reason, in having nothing to worry about, so much so to dig up the past, if you will, if not, there must be something looming for one to worry about. It\'s an awful state to find oneself in and in a way, somewhat comical, Woody Allen-ish. You have captured this state of the mind with your usual command of the poetic art which I always admire, truly.
Your fellow poet and friend,
Tony.

Your poem \"Night\'s Refuge\" embarks on a transformative journey, exploring the rejuvenating sanctuary of sleep, the transient nature of life, and the profound desire for rebirth and redemption through the liberating power of forgetfulness. The poem illuminates the fleeting nature of existence, acknowledging the weight of sins and burdens, while suggesting that sleep (or death) offers a tranquil refuge where one can escape the pains of existence and perhaps emerge anew, unencumbered by past mistakes. Your poem masterfully employs vivid imagery, such as \"Hypnos\' silent shores\" and \"Morpheus under glued lids,\" to evoke the serene and dreamlike quality of sleep, crafting a mystical atmosphere that inspires and uplifts. This imagery creates a \"peaceful gate,\" symbolizing a welcoming and protective nature, while Mnemosyne (the goddess of memory) embodies the transformative power of forgetting. To me, \"Night\'s Refuge\" is a masterpiece that utilizes rich imagery, metaphor, and a free-form structure to explore the profound themes of sleep, memory, and the cyclical nature of existence, inspiring us to reflect on the human experience.

Finely written. What strikes me is that it paints a picture of general unease from many angles but leaves it hanging without any resolve or answer, which adds to the sense of unease. Which makes it interesting and well done.

Great poetic commentary on institutionalised learning and the fabrication of history and education especially when it comes to First Nations people & colonisation. Well done, important observations in poetic form. Elizabeth

A heavy-hitting piece, Soren. That second stanza especially is unafraid to dig...it is dread wrapped in rhyme, prescience wrapped in shadow. Love it, my dear friend. 🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

You capture the queasy feeling of unease, when the subconscious seems to be at work. This poem evokes that eerie feeling quite powerfully.

Your poem “Gut Feelings” explores the tension between a seemingly normal exterior and an underlying sense of dread or unease. It reflects on the conflicting emotions that arise when one feels that something is wrong despite the outward appearance of stability and brightness.
which it seems to revolve around feelings of anxiety and foreboding, contrasting the beauty of spring with an internal sense of gloom. It delves into themes of intuition, the subconscious, and the haunting presence of unresolved issues from the past.
