Possessions you can replace, life you can\'t.
Mother nature sure is working overtime in destroying us.
Might be telling us something.

Beautiful poem, Rik. You capture something profound about the relationship between creation and reception. The writer’s intention remains present, yet every interpretation brings another dimension beyond their control. As both a poet and reader, I find that endlessly fascinating...something deeply personal becomes equally authentic within another person. Brilliantly expressed and a fave, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

And Sometimes People may get a different Interpretation of a Poem than was planned.
A good Write.

Masterful my friend this poem holds so much meaning. It travels not only in ripples on the surface but has depth as well. Water what a symbol, a deeply meaningful metaphor from the Tao to the Bible. Softness, yet the persistent wearing power to shape rock, force to move mountains yet life giving, It cleanses and destroys,. It takes all shapes. In this poem it feels, communicates with vibrations, senses recognizes. It not only sends the message but is the message. Water is poetry and song. A most lovely poem that is as quiet as pond on a summer morning and yet as powerful as a tidal wave. A fave

Arqios, this is one hell of a poem. The emotional disorientation is immediate and relentless...as though the speaker is being pulled apart by the very machinery meant to connect us. Brilliantly unsettling, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Mechanical emotion lacking in its program. Garbage in garbage out emotion a borrowed code that is only an echo of what lies outside transistors and wires or maybe not. Are we not but electrical impulses but with feeling? A wonderful write that poses deep questions about what difference there is between man and machine and what separates one person from another. Are we all but one loop? Very profound Cryptic

What a compelling miniature, arqios. The figure moves forward untouched while reputation gathers and transforms behind him...leaving us to wonder where the person ends and the legend begins. Wonderful work, my friend. 👣📜🌒🖤🙏

A brief view of how a legend is formed. Nicely stated from word to myth, fables and legends are formed. Well done my friend

A brilliant piece that reveals how even the smallest draft can leave one open to doors one thought were well sealed, and be open to losing your grip

My friend, this is strange, restless, and wonderfully atmospheric. The warped details carry us through a city shaped by sleeplessness…then that mysterious opening quietly turns unease into anticipation. One heck of a poem, arqios! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This poem, \"Middle of the Night,\" revolves around the theme of solitude and introspection in an urban environment. Yet the poet grapples with feelings of disconnection and nostalgia while wandering through a city at night, reflecting on past decisions and the passage of time.
