Hello, arqios,
The intangible chapters of language where its essence evolves. Remarkable poetry.
Wishing you all the best,
Tony.

A fine write A. Yep, it\'s dense to me too - cryptically dens to my brain box. Fido says to me: \'Give up trying to work it all out; you never do!\' I will ask him what it all means - he knows. lol.

\"Each horrizon. Preparing the next\". Great ending. To me it explains the serenical natural order of things and of course a vacation to remeber.

This poem in my density I had to read several times. Its meaning is dense and deep there is a metaphor within a metaphor and as the poem itself says the meaning came slowly but with force unfolding. Cryptic this poem is not for the casual reader it is for the serious minded the patient, the student of life. Very nicely written it unfolds a map to knowledge not a GPS but an intimate acquaintance with the geography. Lovely and a fave

Rik, I particularly appreciated the distinction between being busy and actually getting somewhere. I\'ve certainly wasted enough energy confusing the two! You\'ve given me something to chew on today. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Aside from their poetic metaphors, lately your poems have become most philosophical. I love this approach where each line a thought followed by another somehow interlinked. A poem becomes an inward journey to those that wish to take it, not a reflection of the day but the mind that perceives it. Loved it my friend especially the line: \"White-maned arguments rear from the dark\" pregnant with meaning it also has opposing terms in White and dark. So many thoughts on this white coming from darkness as light emerging from the emptiness of space, whit skin evolved from dark (so they say) as from Africa we spread north. White truth (as we see it) dark ignorance (so we believe) and on it goes and this is just one line.

That plea feels familiar, my dear friend. I’ve had days when I couldn’t explain what I needed...just knew I couldn’t keep going the same way. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Hello, arqios,
Feigning death the lone survivor from the fallout appears like a cockroach, a cockroach perhaps, who knows the ways of insects.One could construe many meanings from this poem whilst applauding the poem itself. Excellent!
Wishing you much happiness,
Tony.

Hello, arqios,
I know these sounds they can be misleading, sometimes creaking like a bird or some arboreal animal and at night they sound eery and foreboding. An intriguing and well crafted poem. Very well done.
Fond regards,
Tony.

Everything else has given up, the rooms, the paint, but you haven\'t. Lying on the floor and looking up changes everything. That ending is powerful. Nicely written!

Deeply philosophical, psychological, perceptual where perspective takes center stage. Distance gives a different perspective horizons broaden, details diminish. There is a clever on white and surrender. One must ask why paint peels, age, viscosity, lack of bonding agents. Like egg shells that peel it is also white mentioned twice it is of importance. What follows heavy footed plunder. What is to be taken. If all then only you remain and so it follows. Revelations fall free. And indeed they do ask any sanyasi. By casting off all earthly weight and ballast the balloon raises and so does consciousness, awareness as the perspective changes. How\'s that for a grasping at straws conclusion my friend? A fave

Rik, there\'s something wonderfully haunting about this one. I\'ve always loved listening to trees when the wind picks up. Sometimes I think they\'re having conversations we\'re simply too impatient to understand. Really enjoyed this, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

How wonderful I wish I had thought of it my friend for I have heard the trees sing as they rub their branches together and the wind whistles through them. A lovely tune it is too. Nicely written I love the last stanza that makes me think it is more than personification but metaphor as well.

Sublime, Arqios. I had to look up the meaning of \"xyloid.\" Thanks for the teaching. I guess \"pine trees do not sing\" in the \"intellect is the be all and end all of existence\" paradigm. Not to belittle the intellect. I like it. A lot! Maybe we\'re in a \"simulation\"? Even so, the depth of detail, of feeling, of essence is astounding when we put our curiosity to work, isn\'t it? Of course, you already know what I mean!
