Arqios, I’ve felt that kind of quiet easing before…where grief doesn’t leave, but it softens just enough to breathe again. Very relatable. This brought that space back clearly. Strong piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️

Beautifully written. Your poem addresses themes of loss, grief, and the natural world, particularly how morning light can symbolize hope and healing, albeit temporarily, for those who are in mourning.

There is softness with this poem a tenderness and glow that settles like dust particles in that ray of light through the window pane. The concept of borrowed light enhances the view that we all are borrowed here even time and light. Lovely my dear friend and a fave

arqios, this is all about that restraint…saying just enough, then letting it open on its own. That final turn really stayed with me…you trust it, and it works. I’ve chased that kind of balance myself. This lands clean and strong. Powerful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

And that should be the way of it every time. Please take this as enthusiastic endorsement.

Inverted commas? A quotation?

This seems a compelling truth where words are merely the tool by which poetic feeling can be expressed a type of projector of the image. Nicely said my friend

This feels like those stretches where you’re just trying to make it through…looking for even the smallest bit of relief to keep going. I’ve known that rhythm, and you captured it honestly. Strong piece and very much enjoyed, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Lyrical and restrained—this moves like time itself pressing gently but persistently on the body.
The grit is in the repetition: motion continuing even when everything inside is asking for stillness.

This reads like a journey of despair, and sadly there seems no end to it.
Even when things turn bright, something changes it back.

These words raise like smoke drifting through light and dark making bends and swirling trying to find meaning and shape in a world of change from day to night and seasons. Well written my friend

Good write A. I got me own problem - reaching between the two \'s\'s of \'sMILEs\' - it\'s a mile between them. There, I\'ve made any crypticness easy for ya. I\'ve spelt out the answer in capitals.
And since when was I cryptic? About once every 24 years or summat. lol.
