Profound symbolism and visual imagery here Soren, with the masculine devouring the feminine lines being particularly powerful: thanks for the explanation of Ouruborous. The depth of the symbolism evoked goes right into the heart of the mystery of life itself. So beautifully done. Thankyou ! Elizabeth

Excellent, Soren, well put, well composed with compassion and dignity. The world is full of beautiful imperfections where perfection lies within. \'Don\'t judge a book...\', as the saying goes. A poem filled with great understanding. Well done, my friend.
Fond regards,
Tony.

I am compelled to express my admiration for this remarkable poem. It has a profound impact, conveying a message that is both powerful and moving. The imagery is exquisite, creating a picture that is both beautiful and unforgettable. To me, your poem seems to explore themes of creativity, communication, and the fragility of life. It highlights the struggles of those who may be marginalized or misunderstood, as well as the beauty found in nature and the cycle of life and death. You painted rich with imagery. Like \"a painter with no hands,\" \"deaf mute no one understands,\" and \"the song of a bird,\" these phrases create vivid pictures and emotional resonance. The use of contrasts, such as \"green grass\" and \"a shell that looks like hell,\" emphasizes the dichotomy between beauty and suffering. It seems to serve as a reminder to appreciate the depth and potential within all beings and things, advocating for empathy and understanding in a world that often overlooks the intricate stories behind appearances.

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.

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.

Friendship said:
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
