Arqios, what a beautiful and deeply peaceful poem! This feels like permission to simply exist without earning the right through productivity. Absolutely loved this, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

There is something magnificent about this poetic write that seems to stand between rhyme and free style with dignity and grace of nature and tell it as it is. Nature itself is so poetic. A fave my friend

Also \"undone again by what I cannot hold\" and \"stirrer of ash in the hearth we left cold\" is brilliant.

Rik, what a deeply moving poem. This carries the quiet devastation of grief returning without warning...soft in its arrival, but absolute in its power. Beautiful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Death has reawoken, the secret deeply hidden revealed.
Strange how one word, one comment, picture is enough to bring back something we tried our best to bury deep.

A fine write. Just when you think the Doors and Windows locked fast: That draught somehow gets in. It\'s like Poe\'s Beating Heart under the Floorboards.

I have experience and fears of holding a pane of glass for fingers grow tired and slippery and it takes little for it to slip through them. That mirror that reflects oneself slipping through one\'s fingers. I read Thomas\' comment and believe he is right about that draft that comes through the crack under the door. Its disturbance of the marrow distracts and brings back that ash left cold reviving life and the smell of it and the mirror drops. A fave my friend

A quiet, beautiful piece about how even the smallest message can break open the doors we thought were sealed shut.
The images of ash, rain, and slipping glass carry the ache of memory returning when the heart is still learning how to hold on.

Arqios, I deeply relate to the relief of everything finally falling away...leaving room to breathe, think, and simply exist. This truly spoke to me, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Solitude clears the space around us allowing us to see more clearly, to breath more deeply, to hear more profoundly not just without but within. With no threats no barriers are needed, no obstructions of our view no buffers to our hearing. A lovely write Cryptic

Sometimes a Word or Name just pops in your head and you think: \'Wheres that come from\'.
Then you remember it was something from your Childhood. Or someone.
Good Write.
