Wow, Rik. I felt this one, especially tonight. It\'s funny how much time we spend trying to figure life out, only to find ourselves back at the writing desk asking the same damn questions. Glad we have poetry, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

There’s a damn quiet, almost sacred stillness here, as the heavy footsteps, hollow field, small fire, and unhurried tears gradually give way to spring, a falling spark, and the stirring of something not yet spoken. The ending is the keeper for me, because “where poems / flow again / into the dark” makes home feel like more than a final destination—it becomes the place where the burden of living falls away and the poet returns to the mystery that first gave him a voice.

Good day, arqios,
A most beautiful and wistful passage of poetry: a poetess at her bureau whilst all around her disappears as she enters the poem. Elegantly composed.
Wishing you much happiness,
Tony.

This is a most salome poem, somber and gently dark. It casts a hypnotic spell where one drifts form the light of day to the soft spell of night to close one\'s eyes and sleep into another world.

Wow. My ancestors came here as indentured servants from Scotland, Ireland, Wales when this country was for some a penal colony. I have tried to tell their stories unsuccessfully, so thank you for this. Fourth verse especially. Nice work.

LOL! Rik, I\'m just wondering what happens when the band goes on tour. Does he need orthopedic clearance, or will a good pair of compression socks suffice? Either way, I\'m buying tickets! 😂🎷🥁

Hello, arqios,
Did you publish this poem just a few days ago? It matters not for a lovely poem it is. \'Music is the breath of life\' according to the bard and this poem proves it. Joyous.
Fond regards,
Tony.

A lovely message in this poem my friend. One only depends on oneself for company and joy. Don\'t march to the step of the troops but to one\'s own tune and one will never be lonely or sad. Nicely done

I suppose in a way, Austrailia benifited from prisoners from Britain.
You sort of can\'t get it into your mind that someone who stole a loaf of bread could be shipped out to serve a sentence.
In saying that, all my ancesters came from Australia. lol

Hello, arqios,
An horrendous affair. \'Civilised\' do gooders doing what they do best, adulterating the minds, hearts and freedoms of those poor honest souls of blue skies to grey cobblestons. This is a poem well worth reading, as an Irish man,I found it heartbreaking as it is relative. A superlative passage of poetry. Thank you very much.
Wishing you much happiness,
Tony.

Epic and historical in its implications it dives deep into psychology, culture and social manipulation to tell a tale of man\'s need for conformity. The history of the American Indian, the Australian bushman, Africans and many others adopted into a new culture as well as those captured and raised in a foreign culture and redeemed. Even feral children brought back to society often die or at best find it hard to adapt. A most wonderful write my friend that has implications even for those raised in society with different values and upbringing. This poem deserves far greater exposure. A fave

The Annoying thing about Dreams is how they slip from the Memory when waking.
