You describe in wonderful detail the toll that the ravages of time gradually take upon the human body and mind. Poignant and perfect!

More to live for too- don’t forget that the future is waiting with open arms - there is always something interesting and compelling about each day that dawns

Arqios, the whole piece breathes like someone moving through exile inside their own mind…your imagery carries a soft grief that lingers long after the read. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

In some ways existential a realization of deterioration in body and mind. Time takes its toll. Well done my friend

My friend, the whole piece hangs on that fragile line between hope and hesitation…the door ajar, the pocketed promise, the dial tone stretching thin. It’s tender, human, and painfully true. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

I think we\'ve all done it, stared at the phone wondering, hoping it rings, rehearsing the words that never get said.
It\'s a mad couple world of, should I, I will, but what if. This is why Bars were invented.

Hope but ambivalence too; complexity all artfully melded, Rik.

There is such a sad tone to this poem an offer made a call not connected. The message is clear but there is static on the line. Well expressed that feeling between friends and acquaintances. Wistful, longing a connection not to be made

Unhinged? Who? Me? 🤪 My friend, this feels like a scroll breathing…identity, time, and message looping into a quiet chant. You made the in-between its own terrain. Love this lots. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Branded by age Not sure if this was the intent but I see each of us as that parchment or page that curls with age and unrolls each day with words that march and fade. That pause or hinge is a time of reflection or change. A lovely write of reflection on the passing of time in each life.

Arqios, the way you link stars, cells, memory, and music creates a whole orbit of meaning…small and infinite at the same time. Stunning piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

The artist maybe dead, but the music still shines bright.
Bowie must be the most original artist ever and like the star it never wanes.

Whether this poem is intended as a tribute to a great star or not it applies. His album \"Space Odyssey\" (one of his most famous) ties him to this poem. He was dark not in complexion but in the aura he projected. Very nicely written my friend

Rik, this one preaches without sermonizing...clever, convicting, and compassionate all at once. The final plea lands beautifully, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
