arqios, this is all about that restraint…saying just enough, then letting it open on its own. That final turn really stayed with me…you trust it, and it works. I’ve chased that kind of balance myself. This lands clean and strong. Powerful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

This seems a compelling truth where words are merely the tool by which poetic feeling can be expressed a type of projector of the image. Nicely said my friend

This feels like those stretches where you’re just trying to make it through…looking for even the smallest bit of relief to keep going. I’ve known that rhythm, and you captured it honestly. Strong piece and very much enjoyed, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Thomas W Case said:

Lyrical and restrained—this moves like time itself pressing gently but persistently on the body.
The grit is in the repetition: motion continuing even when everything inside is asking for stillness.

Paul Bell said:

This reads like a journey of despair, and sadly there seems no end to it.
Even when things turn bright, something changes it back.

These words raise like smoke drifting through light and dark making bends and swirling trying to find meaning and shape in a world of change from day to night and seasons. Well written my friend

Good write A. I got me own problem - reaching between the two \'s\'s of \'sMILEs\' - it\'s a mile between them. There, I\'ve made any crypticness easy for ya. I\'ve spelt out the answer in capitals.
And since when was I cryptic? About once every 24 years or summat. lol.

My friend, this hit me hard…there’s a quiet, almost sacred stillness running through it. It feels like something ancient and personal at the same time…not loud, but deeply felt. That calm gravity lingers. Powerful piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

It is amazing what you can pick up on a early morning stroll.
This is why you need a keen eye on a wander.
Mind you, now that fuel\'s dissappearing, we\'ll all be wandering to work in the morning.
