Already has been highlighted that final stanza Bella, so all I can do is second (or third, or join the queue in endorsing that motion...) But the whole poem engaged and ensured that I got there. Wondrously simple, but greatly admired.

It is amazing what words you can find when you see the way Nature shows itself to us Bella.

I must confess, upon my first reading, I inadvertently let out an almost silent expletive that I more often write down than ever I actually say put loud .. so for that, I hold my head in shame ..
My visit here this early mane has been a real treat for me Bella on what is possibly going to be our first dry day in ages .. We have had no snow here for years but you took my hand and allowed me to walk alongside you .. and I could see and sense every single thing you described .. (your photo was incredible too) ..
indeed, I thought the whole composition worthy of great merit and you should at the very least enter it into a competition ..
There is only one small thing that
I would challenge you on .. and I know you well enough by now to know, that you know really ..
and that is that it\'s not just the first two stanza\'s that are true is it my friend .. the one at the very end that delivers the coup de grace is also so very true too and no small thing by any means, at all ..
All the very best of All Good Things,
Me :)

A great message again as an allegory and ending so well in the last lines.
\"And as I walked I thought of this
That life is brief you know
A little stain upon the earth
Until it’s time to go\"

Looks a bit like a cat to me! lol. A tale (not tail!): A little girl did not want to go to church. She did not want to meet the ghost - the Holy Ghost/the Holy Spirit!

I can picture this scene so easily in my mind. The little friend of a ghost to brighten your day. Now forever a small ghostly friend at your side everywhere you go. Excellent poem Bella. 😊👍

Provoking ones mind to think . Life is tuff that\'s what it is dear Bella, if I think about what you have written I start to reflect on Karma too illusions and Jokes played on a bigger scale of parallel worlds. Oh now my mind is in overdrive. ❤️

I was eating sandwiches. A manager said jokingly \'Do you eat to live, or live to eat?!\' Well, he mostly came in the office at lunch time. Doh!

I\'m reminded of: You can\'t always give 110% - \'work is part of life\'; don\'t make it into \'life is part of work\'!
How can we give 10% extra, having given all 100%? Doh!!

Bella a very deep poem that reaches to the foundation of science and religion. I agree with you we are all made of the same stuff and when we recycle it, as we pass on, it returns to where we began. We are indeed a bit of star dust. Very Nice Bella

Conscience
sorenbarrett said:
There is a motive to every crime and it is a crime to promote ignorance and censor thoughts. Power, money, fear, seem to be at the front and are quite evident today from government, to companies to individuals. A poignant and very important write Bella. Well done.

Night Sky
sorenbarrett said:
I am so feeling this and have experienced it myself. I remember as a youth camping and being able to see a sky full of stars. Latter I went up into the mountains of Brazil and saw stars like I have only seen in movies a sky that could only be described as a colander or better yet a strainer with a light behind it. I miss this. Great write Bella

You are so bloomin write Bella .. I spend ages thinking along similar lines and then trying to write between them .. I reckon the level of reasoning that goes hand in hand with the process of thinking is one of those things that set us apart from other species .. here on earth anyway ... Neville

\"Ability\" = courage, because sometimes (not very often) a concept/idea is presented which shakes the whole foundation of our value system (doesn\'t apply to me \'cos I haven\'t got one !!)
A really well wrought piece worthy of a much more thoughtful response than the shallow interpretation I\'ve given above, Bella.

The ability and humility to admit that there are other ways that you never thought of is a mark of an open mind and a prerequisite of intelligence. Very well expressed Bella.
