Very apt analogy dear poet! I love how you humanize poetry to such a revealing degree. This is wonderful!

Dear friend I find this incredible on so many levels. I love the wonderful rhyming pattern that allows it flow so freely. The loose tile can be an analogy for so many things that we choose to ignore in life, or cannot face. Thought provoking and a fav!

Soliloquy of courage, honesty and forgiveness
Bella Shepard said:
Powerful my dear friend. In this late stage of life I recognize all that you say, for age allows deeper reflection. Oscar Wilde famously said that \"With age comes Wisdom\". I would say that with experience comes wisdom, if we\'re lucky. Maybe youth is wasted on the young. I have found the capacity, at my age, to forgive myself, accept who I was, and understand why I was that person in different stages of my life. I can truly say that I like the person I see in the mirror now, and consider her my friend. Thank you for this deep dive of reflection, it is truly cathartic.

What a marvelous question, and one that requires contemplation. If life were preconceived there would be no reason to question, doubt, explore, learn. It would be static and unfulfilling. I would definitely choose the land of fee will, with all the good and bad. For there would lie the element of possibilities and invention. Thank you, a great write!

Curley one, soren….
While the first land seems irrefutably the way to go, this Brave New World would lack motivation, highs and lows a sense of adventure, and so on…
Now your second world for all its faults is dynamic, interesting with aways the chance of redemption (no religious connotations).
And anyway, we ain’t got the choice…
Enjoyed the write.

You blow my mind with this poem, as does time, entropy, the whole shebang. I read this poem several times, and each time it became more profound. Our time, compared to cosmological time, is not even a fraction of a nanosecond. How can we comprehend the incomprehensible? Wonderful write, a great fav.

Procrastination is a great word, but I feel this house hides more than neglect, and time just added to the decay.

What is love?

Such excellent words and thoughts about the altruism of love, not of necessity or coercion but of value and esteem. Thanks Soren!

Emotional scripture
arqios said:
Reminds me of the Jedi sacred writings that was supposed to have been incinerated by Yoda to shake up a jaded Luke Skywalker. It\'s not about what\'s inked but the spirit in/of which they were written and sent off.

You take on big themes, soren.
\"In the end one dies.....see it as a whole\" - not sure how smart I am, but that\'s the way I see It. Thanks.

Do you believe?
Doggerel Dave said:
Funnily enough, soren prior to my arrival here I had used the word \'believe\' in relationship to another piece posted today and then rejected in preference for certainty.
And therein lies the difference: Belief is a perception without real evidence to verify any of the social constructs you list.
Could almost be developed into a mantra. Well said.

Bella Shepard said:
Excellent questions! I have come to feel, at my late age, that belief is a very powerful word. Be it for good or bad, it has a rigidity to it that sometimes disturbs me. So I now prefer to use the word \"think\", because every day is a learning experience. Love that you have posed this quandary, that I may now think up on it. Great write my friend.

Love and hate

Too often our foolishness supersedes our humanity, something we\'ve yet to dwell upon. Maybe somewhere in that distant future? You\'ve given something to truly reflect upon.

When there is not even anymore losses to minimise escaping with the skin still on our backs seems the sensible thing to do. Thanks for sharing.
