I try to find something new or interesting at pretty much every stop, details to ward off boredom. Nice work here.

Good write A. I did a rough version called \'Wot is?\' or \'Wot is wot?!\' (Did I? lol). Well, if Soren made deep comments, there\'s no knowing what tangent I may go off on, if I do too much \'thinking\'. lol.

Wow, arqios…there’s something mesmerizing about the observational stillness in this. The poem moves like a wandering camera lens catching ordinary human motion and quietly transforming it into meaning. The ending reframes the whole thing in such a subtle, satisfying way. Strong work, my friend. A fave for sure. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This poem speaks to the mind asking what is coincidence and what is planned, what is correlation and what is causation. Introducing man and city creations brings into mind what is real what is not what is man created and what is nature and are we not nature as well and all this just our perspective. Nicely done Cryptic. I think I dove too deep this time

Arqios, this is beautifully restrained and deeply thoughtful. I love how the poem moves from physical infrastructure into cultural and communal inheritance without ever forcing the connection. By the end, the act of preservation itself feels sacred. “The room feels like a place / where the future leans in to listen” is such a gorgeous closing image, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Are we all just recordings in time to be boxed when the time comes, stored away for someone at a later time to listen to or maybe throw away? Well written Cryptic and thought provoking

The unfolding of a rich relationship and the passage of time are woven together to form a complete picture here, Rik. Felt every line.

Arqios…this is one of those poems that sneaks up on the heart quietly. No dramatic moment…just tenderness accumulating line by line until suddenly the weight of time, gratitude, aging, and love are all sitting there together in the room. And that final image of letting the moment stretch between you…absolutely lovely. Powerful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Feels like love in its most unshowy form—care passed quietly from hand to hand without needing to be named.
There’s a deep tenderness in it, like gratitude finally learning how to sit still beside memory.
