I fear we all have these scribbles
whether we voice them or not
that looming finite in our horizons
insures, we do
(a relatable wording, and cheers to you!

thanks for sharing your wisdom, kind Poet)

To have lived life well and fully is to be hoped for. When you can say that, you truly have all the riches of the world. Beautifully phrased dear friend.

My dear friend, powerful words that hit their mark. How often have I thought \"If only I could go back\". I can only regret what might have been, when death closes the door forever. Wonderful verse that touches such sadness.

Those enigmas are often within us soren but we do need to think outside the box sometimes to get the right answers, many do not see this as an answer.

\'Analogy\' is not quite right; neither is \'metaphor\' - But I\'m here to tell you that much of my life felt like that, Soren.
Polished little summary - I\'ve always thought of it as a tortuous path with many wrong turnings, but yours is a portrait which makes just as much sense.

a healthy way to stare down our finite fate
and appreciate
there is more we lack the wisdom to glean...
I like open ended, endings
to my stories
since, none of us know how this will all, end
as much as we try and guess what it all means..
(a wonderfully contemplative write
this be our \'atoms to atoms\'
of antiquity\'s \'ashes to ashes\')

(sorry dear Poet I read your wonderfully insightful words and I couldn\'t help just typing away
a feeble poetic response
thanks for sharing and inspiring)
society needs, its festivities
to cut through, life\'s endless repetitiveness
to help manufacture
collective moments of gaiety
so once
we celebrated, our harvests
and now we celebrate our faith anchored deities,
whatever it takes, to distract us
to insure we survive, life itself
so every year, someone
finds newfound joy in those firecrackers
or gets that perfect present for their loved one
or get\'s that turkey to come out, just right
whatever it is, whatever it takes
let it be
we do it all, in the hope
that we\'ll be the generation
to finally discover, the why
in that we inherit and are indoctrinated
to appreciate...
so let it be
now \'Cyber Monday\'s\'
whatever works, next
let it be...

For some genuine Christians, all this commercialisation must rankle. For me if it\'s not Christmas, then Easter, Mother\'s day, Father\'s day, even Halloween all seem to be of the same mold.
I, an agnostic atheist still exchange presents on Christmas day......
Thanks for the steep learning curve, Soren - never heard of Odin or Black Friday...

I\'ve not seen an eight legged horse. It would save money to hire it, and save a horse\'s energy. Only one horse needed instead of two? lol.

\'Changing with every transformation The stronger the love The more we are captive The greater the control\'
I hear Pessoa, more specifically
Albert Caeiro
that most pragmatic and cynical
of poetic voices
but in that very directness
there\'s a romanticism straining at the leashes
wishing, the world was more like the way your wrote it
I just wish i could speak/read the language to appreciate it in full

Impending doom I cannot quite place... Thankfully once I declined the medication, it disappeared. A well written reminder of a terrible time. Thanks Soren.
