Arqios, this brought back memories of day trips where the destination almost became secondary to everything encountered along the way. Sometimes it\'s the roads, the pauses, and the unexpected moments that remain with us longest. Beautiful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Arqios, this stayed with me. There’s something quietly beautiful about the acceptance running through it…no struggle against impermanence, just an acknowledgment of it. I found that deeply moving, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A brilliant metaphor Cryptic. The pairing of a stone marker with a cloud sets formed permanence with nebulous transience. It is in this duality that poems are set. Some are dispensed with quickly not even casting a shadow, others drift off after time. It is the marker that remains not the essence. Some may leave rain that creates new life, yet the cloud is gone. Loved it my friend a fave

when the heart is heard
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Arqios, what a lovely piece. I especially enjoy how the poem keeps one foot in myth and the other in music. By the end, what lingers isn\'t the flight itself but the heart behind it...and that feels exactly right. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Should have gone up at Night. But a good message here. Good Words .
Just heard recently that my Mother used to bathe me in Australian Larger when I was a Baby. Came as a Shock to know I was \'Fostered\'.

I blame the parents, running before you can walk, or flying before your wings grow.

When aspirations raise above nature\'s rules and the will of the gods. Wax melts and hopes fall. A builder of Labyrinths and wooden cows watched his disobedient son fall from the sky separated from the wings he had built. How many parents acceding to filial demands have felt this guilt. Nicely written Cryptic

Rik, this resonates with me. Sometimes the first signs of heartbreak are not dramatic at all. They arrive in small changes, little absences, and quiet distances that only become clear in hindsight. This brought that feeling to mind immediately. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Masterfully worded this poem is consistent from beginning to end in its message. I love the lines:
\"Streetlamps flicker,
echoing their silence.\"
What a wonderful metaphor that combines visual with auditory in a single vivid message. The following lines follow up with that double meaning in the chill both emotional and tactile. This continued doubling of meaning strengthens the poem. It is finished with another double pairing of the intellectual and emotional brought to its end in the physical as well. Very nicely done Cryptic it can not help but be a favorite

My friend, this is delightful. 😄 It made me smile, think, and then smile again. The humor is there throughout, but beneath it is a surprisingly thoughtful meditation on identity, perception, and the strange things people choose to revere. Wonderful piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Well written. Your poem delves into themes of self-identity, the human tendency to classify and categorize, and the idea that true worth and connection exist outside of competition. It reflects on the experiences of a monkey, both as a performer (jazzman) and a revered figure (temple monkey), highlighting the fluidity of perception.

As philosophical as poetic this poem draws parallels between monkeys and man in differing perspectives and perceptions. In the end we are all equal. It is the setting, circumstance, appearance that divides us. Very nicely done my friend and another fave
