This is amazing.There is so much here to appreciate.Was there any good.We will never know.I like to think that there was.This is a two sided poem.There are many opposites fiery romance and love that failed,Wishes made and lost.I beleive this poem raises the ultimate questions of contrariness. An enjoyable read .Made me think

Love it. Everything was Magical through a Childhood\'s eyes . And then the Cold Wet Blanket of reality.

Tristan Robert Lange said:

Soren, there’s reflection here without bitterness. From Santa nights to first love to belief itself…you trace the arc of innocence with clarity. That final plea to be beguiled again feels vulnerable and brave. It reminds us that wonder is not foolish…it’s human. Powerful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

The very eyes of a child, if we are lucky enough to know our innocence as a child many do not. A. Gorgeous poem of reflection. 🌹

Yes, you\'ve got to get back to childhood where responsibility is left to others.
Now get out there and bag that impossible present all the kids want.
Just realised that present is, just transfer money into my account, bloody weans.

How to live that magic again, within all the pressures, disillusionments, and responsibilities of being an adult? Great question. And prayer, Soren.

Tree and the lily
Allie561 said:

A very lovely poem Soren. I liked how the oak represents a stable shade and the lily wants to feel the sun, but maybe with all that sun it would wither away. A good representation of how sometimes to be protected, we have to do things we may not like (at least that’s my interpretation). Great imagery as well, one of my favorites.

Tree and the lily
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Soren, this reads as fable wrapped in nature. The oak’s shadow becomes both guardian and oppressor, and the lily’s protest adds emotional texture. The shifting shade and the closing plea suggest more beneath the meadow surface. Thoughtful little parable, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

This is like a fable of the French writer La Fontaine. We don\'t know the value of what we have until we lose it.... In four lines the poem has passed a valuable message to all humanity. We prize not what we have until we lose it...

That\'s Lily for you, just never happy.
Wonder if the tree mentioned to the Lily. Don\'t worry you won\'t be here long.

Car of rust
Paul Bell said:

Cars like the woman all go south at some point, and no paint job or overhaul is going to fix it.
Still got the pictures and the memories and that keeps you going.
Do like the smell of new cars, not sure if I could break a new woman in mind you.

You\'ve just reminded me that there is something to be said for public transport. The picture of you stood beside a heap of metal with your memories is complete, Soren.

Car of rust
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Soren, the layered deterioration reads like more than machinery…it feels autobiographical in spirit. The junkyard priest blessing its end, the overheating climb, the unseen lease…all of it builds toward that final line of refusal. Worn down, but still loved. Powerful metaphor, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
