What a lovely poem, arqios. The father never needs to explain himself or take credit…he simply creates the space, tends it patiently, and lets the child grow into whatever is waiting there. Tender, wise, and beautifully restrained, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Cryptic what a marvelous multi leveled poem of the father role, be it God, real father, teacher, father figure of any type. How help is given best not by doing for but teaching one to provide for themselves, not giving a fish but teaching how to fish and feeding one for a lifetime. So nicely put in metaphor of a garden space and providing the tools and space to learn. Being there quietly with wisdom to to tell and create resistance but available for true desired questions. A masterful work my friend

A good father has a delicate balancing act. As mortals we can only do our best.

What a lovely poem, arqios. There’s such peace in letting the world carry on without demanding anything from yourself…and you make that kind of rest feel almost sacramental. Absolutely loved this, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

arqios, what a gorgeous piece. The relationship between creator and inspiration feels intimate and almost sacred…each one leading the other toward something neither could reach alone. Excellent work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

There is a lazy summer feel to this poem my friend. The first two lines captured me. It leaves me with a warm feeling where time means nothing and just experiencing and being is enough. A fave

Kevin Hulme said:
It\'s nice when the Muse is always by you.
Not so when your ready to write and she\'s no where to be seen. Stopping out all hours. Probably with other Muses playing Bingo or Twister while fellow Poets sit Idlely by waiting to begin. Think I\'ll have a lie down now after that. Came over all unnecessary. Good Write by the way.

Hi arqios,
love the idea of drifting through half formed dreams until the pen gives that little tug and shows the way.
Beautifully written - Syd 🍄
