Brilliant!
(cherished friend
may i be so bold as to humbly
suggest you revisit
some of Homer\'s Iliad lines
and reflect on how
your poet\'s theme, as been plaguing
humanity, since
the first poet, chose to ink
of life\'s cruelties...)
from (Iliad VI, 403)
\'and the heir apparent\'s firstborn son.
the child Astyanax
thrown from the walls of Troy
as his mother Andromache looks\'
...
may the universe have mercy
on humanity\'s
collective
soiled souls...

Doggerel Dave said:
Liked the tenor of your argument, Soren.
Birds, like humans are a pretty diverse lot. For me a tuneful antipodean might include an Australian magpie or a lyrebird. Delinquents dressed in feathers? We have a few.......

If we are not wise compassion will be our demise (A thought)
Doggerel Dave said:
I don’t think we have evolved sufficiently to make that kind of choice, Soren.
And the danger of articulating those kind of propositions is that the wrong people might take them up and run with them …Be careful….

L. B. Mek said:
I ask, my wise friend
where do we curate
a new generation\'s dreams
school rooms
war field bedrooms, or
maybe just maybe
in the hope we imbue, in ink
in that black n white of imagination
.. is that why poetry\'s legacy
outshines, the fallibility of the Poet\'s
voicing Poesy\'s truths
maybe our world too
can finetune an art
from all that divisiveness
and wide eyed ignorance
maybe, by enduringly hopeful words
like yours
oh kind Poet and cherished friend
thank you!

L. B. Mek said:
God is relative, I find
I like your God
rain scents and natures soothing scenes
a healing love, as an icon Ideal
but by your window
war drums, collide with zealot heartbeats
.. they too speak of a God..
such is Belief, such is Humanity\'s
need to warp, all that once started
with the greatest intentions...

(forgive me dear Poet
I read your words and just couldn\'t help being inspired
thank you! for these important and ever timely words)
black nor light
refracted atoms and gases, electron painted
as a façade of identity and skies
we look at a mirror
point at skin tonality, fight to find
differences
us and them mindset
learned behaviour, so as to narrow perspective
we\'re too scared of potential\'s: potential
so we limit horizon to our zip codes
its scary
how childish our adult years become
as children, we run around
light as our rainbow of skip in our heart
never caring of the who, just the act
in their what..
Luther\'s dream, is merely a recollection of our childhood years
but we\'re too stubborn
so we point fingers
and hate at our life\'s mirrors...
wage wars at our kin
Hate, that we recognise as natural
just, so we can belong
to a herd, who would abandon us
the minute we started to limp...
reaching for ghosts
we paint our dreams, into nightmares
make reality a scapegoat for our incredulity\'s belligerent ignorance

Such a wonderful subject personally I believe each individual is worth the same as another regardless to richness colour or education or job choice. The world we live in is of greed unfortunately. Ah you make a poetess think deeply. 💖

Sorry Soren. While I appreciate the richness of your imagery, any mention of angels or god, however metaphorical (and I\'ve many times stated that metaphors are not my thing) I just fly out of range....🙂

What I see is an incredible amount of acceptance in being who we are being allowed to be who we are and being proud of who we are. Diversity is what makes for a very rich culture indeed. 💖

As I read this beautiful poem I see in my minds eye the yin and yang, opposing forces complementing each other.
\"Life\'s energy reincarnated is our mother\", energy neither created nor destroyed, but eternal. This is mind bending, mind broading, mind blowing in the best possible way. Brilliant!

A Work of the Heart
Pop64 said:
It can be so often that writes from the heart are discarded or dismissed by others, but that can only be due to their lack of understanding and greater need to feel. This poem, however, is so descriptive and detailed that it can be appreciated by all who\'ve suffered the loss of a heart written poem. Nicely penned!

some do Art
some live Art
some, utilise Art
we must use our Art, to release
our hurt
to rejoice our victories
to ink our life\'s most debilitating
catastrophes
I am so sorry for the pain
that inspired these words, treasured friend
\'stay\' strong!

Beyond Love
L. B. Mek said:
knocked it out of the park!
\'first swing\'
brilliant, yeah these is it here
\'Balance\'
we\'re all together in the fight...
(I bow to your superior talent)
\'was enamored by Li Qingzhao,
marveled over Xue Tao to no end
I have suffered Maya Angelou\'s painful loss,
felt the warning of Mary Shelly,
seen the love of Jane Austin,
lived the despair of Bronte\'

Brilliant interpretation
Distilling the essence of this scene
while keeping to a rhythmic flow
of entwined heart\'s
embraced, in the dance of life
counting, to get that timing right
to insure they\'re forever, in-step
with each other\'s desires...
(this song still get me as well)
thank you oh wise Poet
