Did the spellchecker come up with \'Decide\'?! heehee.
There\'s somewhat cryptic, yet true, phrases, about God - All-Knowing, All-Encompassing, etc.

This is so nice ! Lovely poem
Your last lines ‘ you only need to listen ‘ that’s very similar to what I wrote in my latest poem about birds
Nature has so much to say ))

From the heart
Bella Shepard said:
The heart says \"let go of things you can\'t control\". Take each day as it comes, and deal with whatever it brings. Speak the truth and be content in doing the very best that you can. Thank you my friend, for this simply wonderful poem!

Cynic\'s love
L. B. Mek said:
delusional fools tend to read our words
upside down
choosing to see what they want to see
while we strive
to deliver everything n anything
they may need of us
and so that disconnect, surreal
is imbued subtly, absurdly
within relationships
we once assumed
as that all-important, in our lives...
(i so relate, dear wise Poet
still, onwards
breath to step, till we learn
to forget, onwards
we can but strive, to survive)

Nice phrase and metaphor. If we pretend we slid the last stanza to the top then the finish had a touch of optimism and the down and dirty start w lacerated and absurd sets a no nonsense tone ?

A bird
L. B. Mek said:
yeah, i have learnt the hard way
as well, now
i only look for homing Pigeon\'s
just that, they\'re not that easy to find
I find...
(I so relate, dear Poet
I hope fate affords you kindness
enough
and delivers you a homing Pigeon
for your generous heart, one more
time, for keeps, this time)

L. B. Mek said:
an ant\'s strength, putting us to shame
yet we parade like our foot size
means we can stomp over all other
life;
abuse our cows, keep them impregnated
their whole miserable life
just so we can
make milkshakes from their
misery n strife;
I laugh at people\'s, brazen
assumptions of what evil is
while cracking an egg, every morning
and trying to dictate, who
gets the right to define, if
an embryo is a fetus or a life
to be protected
while loudly proclaiming
\'I\'ll take mine sunny side up\'
...
what word defines a person
better than, the ultimate:
\'hypocrite\'

Wash it down
L. B. Mek said:
Brilliant!
(sleek, sweat drenched and sick
we swallow lies as facts of surreal
wash it down
with that blue and red pill, Hollywood
spider\'s in our horizons
cobwebs rooting our steps
swimming to fly
running to find a peaceful sleep
straining to relax serene
we progress with each blink of regress
and smile, those surgical white teeth
while inside
our heart\'s are rotting gangrene
still, a new dawning
and our clown masks appear
bright and eager
daring to dream, daring to believe
in a better, once promised
to our great, great, great, great, great
kin
yeah, we wait! knowing
one way or another, death
will deliver
mercy to those kids on deathbeds
worldwide
gifting hope, in each brave smile
with eyes shut tight
baring a pain, they\'ll never comprehend..)

Progress
L. B. Mek said:
we traversed from the plague
to coronavirus
yet, all those generations
never noticed a difference
just more ammunition
to our woe n laments

(insightful word, dear Poet
good to see history hasn\'t been \'cancelled\'
for all of us)

No words
L. B. Mek said:
\'\'Verba volant, scripta manent\'\'
that\'s why we ink, endure
one more scribbled syllable
to stain existence with our worth
validate, this amalgamation
of breath, laughter, tears, pain, love
and so much more
as a life, lived
with all we had to give!
onwards, \'and miles to go before we sleep\'
till that bell toll lets us know
we\'ve done enough, time to rest...
onwards, my kind friend
stay strong!

Brilliant!
(forgive me my friend
but see how impressively
your words compare, to arguably
the best lines of one of Poesy\'s
great\'s)
“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:
I love not Man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all conceal.”
― Lord Byron, from Childe Harold\'s Pilgrimage

Over
L. B. Mek said:
\'And when done, you\'re told what you lack, and to punt\'
that systemic, \'lack of belief\'
in our capabilities, we each
have to overcome, everyone
assuming our offense
can\'t get it done, at crunch time
when deep inside us, a flame
blazes, yearning
to scream our defiance, ignore
\'team\' orders and shout to the world,
\'give me a chance, to shut you up!\'
and I\'ll rip your fckin throats out
just watch
my best is yet to come!
(inspirational words wise Poet, love it
thank you!)

Mists of Melville
L. B. Mek said:
one of my favourite books/writers ever!
(even accounting for the unsavoury
romanticising of animal cruelty)
\'Starbuck\' still one of my favourite characters
that unfaltering loyalty, becoming
even more of an archaic trait
sadly
(a great write! dear Poet)
\'haunt me
like growlers, cast off a forgotten glacial dream
frozen echo\'s of past falling flakes and drops
driven by hidden collective currents
that would drown me in its black fathomless depths\'

L. B. Mek said:
so fcking deep!
\'Saying: “Please don\'t choose to me abuse
naive, to the right advances I\'m blind”
\'We\'re drawn in by unrealistic expectations, until revelations
strip truth naked and it goes to pieces as hope expires”
(it would take a whole dissertation to unfurl
the wide ranging socio-relationship
aspects of modern \'romance\'
your words offer acute insights
upon)
great execution of such a sensitive
and divisively complex subject
a privilege to read
testimony to your wordsmith skills
thank you!

Both sad and truthful. Realism should in fact heighten and not dishearten our \'attraction.\' If I read this right, we have become enslaved by ideals that do not match reality which makes us really naive as demonstrated in this poem.

Fate
L. B. Mek said:
Brilliant!
(a young heart\'s red string
or that life scorched, ashen black
as one, we all seek
our existential thread
to unveil fate\'s machinations
free us of that blank future\'s
dread
flip a choice, ink our worth
with our laments and endeavours
of pulsing need to belong, to mark
our lives in posterity\'s sights)
