Elixir of life
Friendship said:
Well written,sorenbarrett, your poem \"Elixir of Life\" beautifully explores the majestic origins of life and the profound interconnectedness of natural elements—air, water, earth, and fire—leading to the miraculous emergence of living beings, delving into creation myths, the cycle of life and death, and the philosophical implications of existence.

Good write SB. KP knows what greatness is, of course. She says \'Anything to do with me, me, me\'. (That\'s her, not me myself!) lol. Getting too big for her boots again, so I will give her double helping of sewage for her dinner. Makes sense to me. lol.

Great minds think alike and today and I\'ll be honest always felt, this to my core. There\'s those that write for freedom and those that do it for wealth, some are lucky it just happens to fall into place.
Great read and brilliant opening line! Your definitely part of my sublime

Well said. Your poem revolves around the concept of greatness and its dependence on public perception. The poet delves into the relationship between artistic merit (in this case, poetry and literature) and the recognition it receives from society. You seem to suggest that individual works may be technically perfect but achieve true greatness only when they resonate with an audience. The poem highlights the fickleness of acclaim and the importance of public validation in determining what is celebrated or forgotten.

Dear Soren,
Confucian paternalism, came to mind when reading this - the benevolent rulers, loyalty and obedience above all else to the detriment of individual freedoms as is still the case and not alone in China. Another poem to untangle as you draw the reader ever closer in to your unique and wonderful style. That brain of yours is still in good working order.
All the very best,
Tony.

... and from that smudge a splendid poem, Soren. Sometimes all one needs is a wink, the first line, as it were and the rest is up to the poet and no better poet than your good self to see it out as is clearly evident in this impressive verse.
