Many of us come into this world being told that we were \"planned\", we can be anything we choose to be, that if you work hard you will be met with success, and that life will be overall beautiful. Yet, and this is a VERY BIG YET, most of those things cannot be known let alone guaranteed. Life is uncertain from conception on. No amount of it is guaranteed. We say we plan our children, yet our children do not turn out according to plan. So...as I see it...this poem is speaking to the uncertainty of life and yet we keep producing more life with complete certainty. Ironic at the least. Anyway, that is how this hit me first couple go-rounds, hope I am somewhere in the vicinity, but regardless, a powerful poem, my friend! 🌹👏

It amazes me that people are not terrified by life considering the end and the troubles they have along the way.For me this poem explores the fear of the unknown and the horrors that might be around the corner. For me it is a very real journey into the darkness.Well done

Your poem stirs like breath on a mirror—uncertain, intimate, and chillingly tactile. It feels like the echo of memory searching for a body to haunt. Hauntingly awesome. 🕊️🙏🏻

The universe is aligning my friend. Last week, during therapy, I had this insight, coming from my Spirituality, of course: In God there is no was, in God there is no will be. In God…there just is. We only have and only ever will live in the now and until we realize that, we will never truly be living. Take God out of my statement, for those who don’t believe, the truth remains. There is no was, there is no will be. There just is. This poem expresses that so beautifully and succinctly it is a must fave for me, my friend! Well done! 🌹👏

A beautiful crafted write, for some poverty is a life long issue and struggle and I mean real poverty. While those around them just get fatter and fatter. Poignant and to me sad write on the current world

A description of some unhappy experiences in life. Sometimes we feel that all is going against us. It\'s just a long struggle.

Wow such a great poetry on poverty
As someone from a third world country I have seen and faced it as well
I also like to write on difficult/sensitive /social topics and I have wrote on several already like nationalism , 3rd world struggle, immigration but I am not sure that should I release them in public maybe people will get offended Because Everyone have their own perspective on looking at things :)

I really liked it. I reached a point where it seemed to get tangled up, and when I reached the end, I found my way out again. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

This speaks of nature but really reveals the nature of humanity. A brilliant poem, whether taken literally or in a metaphorical sense. Powerfully true! 🌹👏

Deceptions
Soman Ragavan said:
An interesting observation of everyday stuff around us. Both steam and smoke can obscure our view for some time. Steam follows a clearer cycle : turning into clouds that fall as rain, to be again turned into steam. \"life\'s rain\" : indeed, rain sustains life. Water that got evaporated at one place turns into clouds that travel to other places to fall as rain. One interesting thing about salt is that, when boiled in water, the steam can be made to condense and salt is obtained again.... As for sugar, fertilisers and salts are thrown in sugar cane fields, but SUGAR is produced.... Another marvel of nature right under our eyes....

For me this is how in Nature things deceive us but more than that it is about people and their deceptions. In this world we have to negotiate the many deceptions that people are capable of. An interesting poem.made me think
