From the veins of our fathers
Soman Ragavan said:
Ants and birds know in advance coming changes of weather. Ants build higher. They also get energetic, hurrying along. Birds get frantic and stock up on food, knowing it might get scarce. Snails can smell coming storms and they climb up walls, avoiding the ground. The higher they rise, the heavier will be the rain, eg during cyclones. I have personally noticed all this around me.
In the US there was a case of a child who was travelling with his parents in the car. Passing in front of a house he said he felt something was wrong in there. Back at home he insisted that they go back and check. It turned out that someone was sick or injured and needed medical help…

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Soren, this is a strong piece, my friend. The ebb between clarity and obscurity mirrors the inner weather so well, and the image of undrinkable abundance gives the whole piece its emotional gravity. It is contemplative, unresolved, and deeply human. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Your poem revolves around the ephemeral nature of inspiration and creativity, likened to mist and rain. The poet experiences moments of clarity and confusion, suggesting that creative thoughts can be elusive and difficult to grasp. reflects the relationship between inspiration (the \"cloud\" and \"rain\") and the struggle to capture and refine those ideas (the need for purification and filtration).

Sometimes words are like torrents of rain and the pen rocks.
Most times bang on four in the morning, it forms, and any sensible git would write it down, but you don\'t cos it was so clear.
Don\'t have to tell you the rest. lol

Soman Ragavan said:
The poet notes that there is plenty of water but it must be treated before being drunk. “So much water but none I can drink…”
“Water, water everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink…”
--Coleridge (1772-1834) : “The Ancient Mariner.” The mariners were on a boat at sea. They could see plenty of sea water but none that they had to drink.

Just when there\'s one right there puffff, it\'s gone, I always have these moments when I\'m most tired or in bed, I try to think of a word that will remind me of the thoughts in the morning, but actually that doesn\'t work either, my muse can be a bitch but a gal has to sleep, super imagery as always. 🌹

Fine words soren, I have been lucky in that I had the love of my life for 38 years before she passed into heaven and then Mary came into my life which has given me another love of my life.

I have to admit I\'m a bit of a realist and philosophical questions rarely cross my mind. A great write however and it certainly got me thinking.

This was a very good piece Soren. It reminds me of the moral hypothesis like the train where you have only the choice to switch the track. I myself like to think I could sacrifice myself but if it ever came down to that I’m not sure if I would be able to go through with it.

Over the course of 40 years, I have been fortunate enough to receive unwavering devotion from one person, allowing me to understand the depth of being completely loved.
The use of rhetorical questions! Your poem revolves around the nature of human decisions and the moral dilemmas that accompany them. It explores the contrasts between love and legacy, sacrifice and self-preservation, and the complex relationship between happiness and suffering. The poet delves into existential questions about the significance of the choices we make in our lives and how they reflect our values and beliefs.

Tough one, blood is always thicker than water.
I think you would always save the child, mostly.
I suppose some choices are instant, and possibly life changing, some more selfish.
Humans will encounter all sorts of choices through their lives, and most will allow others to make that choice for them, probably regretting it in the process.
A real thinking poem this one.

Good write SB. Well, to choose one person - KP\'s at the bottom of the list, so I could start from the bottom up. lol.
Is that a phrase we don\'t hear every day \'start from the bottom up\'. lol.
