Death is silence and dark. Very good write. We fear what we dont understand.

Thomas W Case said:
There’s a beautiful stillness here, capturing the ocean as both a place and a living mystery.
The final lines open something larger, where watching a simple movement becomes a glimpse into the universe itself.

So interesting the idea that the universe is seen at different levels up and down from the smallness of quantum to the vastness of Newtonian views. Darkness of space darkness of the ocean each their own space. Nicely done Cryptic

Arqios, this really moved me. I especially loved \"to follow the fish through dark is to watch the universe move.\" The poem begins in the ocean, but by the end it feels like it\'s speaking about perspective itself...how wonder often lives in the things we choose to follow. Beautifully crafted, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

There\'s still more to discover under the water than there is in space.
I think the really dark ocean brings out some weird species that you really marvel at.

Then you can be loyal to someone but they are not loyal to you. And Vise Versa.

There’s a strain of sadness and resignation to fate underlying this verse- very well done

Rik, this is concise but carries real weight. The progression from questioning the nature of loyalty to the final image of another coffin nail gives the poem a strong sense of inevitability. Thought-provoking and beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

My friend, I love the simplicity of this. It starts with something almost everyone feels, then gently leads to a place of acceptance without forcing it. There\'s a real sense of peace by the final lines. Beautiful write. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Not sad - (Wrong !)
Absolute freedom – (Right !)
This Freedom? – Good for me, but too much for some - tough shit!

A mantra that seems so obvious when telling another, and nigh impossible to internalise. A good, simple read - the simplicity adds a certain legitimacy to the message. Well done

Sometimes the ones that do like you, you wish they didn\'t.
Mind you, as you get older you begin to hate everybody.
I especially hate self service checkouts that for some reason make you pull out the imaginary machine gun and blast it to bits.

Wisdom in words. The only one that needs to like you is yourself although it is much easier if others do as well. Nicely written my friend

Rik, this really hit me. There\'s so much hope packed into so few words...that movement from clearing away what\'s dead to making room for new life feels deeply honest. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Just this morning I was imagining myself alone, adrift on the ocean deeps, and was struck with terror. It was humbling. And I also remembered that it was just my imagination, running away with me!
