A familiar place, so very important and in some cases it\'s not. When I go to London I always hope for this, sometimes .y very old memories are ruined but again it\'s ok, time and age moves us on. . An absolutely wonderful poem. 🌹

Your poem contrasts memories of innocence with the harsh realities of commercialization and urbanization. In it, you express a deep sense of loss and nostalgia for a familiar place that has undergone significant transformation, highlighting the conflict between memory and change. It reflects on how progress can alter landscapes and erase personal histories. Could the metaphor be \"Change\'s theft\"? It personifies change as a thief, emphasizing the loss experienced.

What a magnificent truth and so very poetically powerful. Blown away with this one especially because it speaks personally to me. 🌹

Very nice and original rhymes. Indeed, it can be quite an experience to get back to your memorable places only to find them irreversibly changed and forsaken.

“Watch your thoughts,
they become your words;
watch your words,
they become your actions;
watch your actions,
they become your habits;
watch your habits,
they become your character;
watch your character,
it becomes your destiny.”

by
Lao Tzu (born 571 BC)
The tragedy is that we have no control over our thoughts. Hitler’s mind told him to wage wars, regardless. We know the consequences. It is the same with all those who launched wars. Thoughts lead in the end to character, which itself defines your destiny.
In the end, we have no control over the whole process.

You\'re not at fault thinking a bad thought! But choosing to continue to think about it, perhaps maybe then a little.

An interesting concept that bears the question, whose the judge of another\'s thoughts. Well, I guess we don\'t have to live long and share much to find out other humans can be. Of course, for those who believe, there\'s God. Does God judge our thoughts? It seems not so long as those thoughts don\'t take root in the heart...which is a broad difference from those who are simply thinking thoughts. For something to take root, it then grows, it spreads and, of course that alone is actionable not to mention that the spreading often goes beyond the individual in harmful ways. A most thought-provoking poem, Soren. Another fave. 🌹👏

Well said ,Soren,Your poem inspires self-reflection on personal responsibility and morality, empowering readers to weigh their desires and distinguish between thoughts and actions. It prompts introspection about guilt, freedom, and the human emotional experience, offering a profound exploration of moral conflict through the contrasting metaphors of \"devil deeds\" and \"angel thoughts\".

To live in self-deception for the sake of outward peace and decency — that is the real drama.
A deeply philosophical poem, striking in its honesty. I like it!
