Arqios, this feels deeply peaceful to me...not passive peace, but earned peace. The kind built slowly through patience, craft, and listening to the world instead of rushing through it. There’s real wisdom resting quietly inside this piece. Beautiful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

There’s a quiet dignity in this—no chasing, no shouting, just a man letting his work speak and the road answer back.
Feels like he found something better than success up there… a steady life that doesn’t need proving.

What a wonderful story.It can go appreciated on many levels.As a clever poem or a statement on the human condition.It is better to learn from nature than school. I enjoyed reading mi amigo

This poem presents a serene and peaceful image. Schooling may take many forms each suited to the art or guild. Proper placement and marketing make for success where charity becomes easy in the lap of plenty. This poem almost a parable speaks loudly in a soft voice. Well done Cryptic

Rik, wow…this carries such a calm and thoughtful wisdom, my friend. I love how the poem resists dramatic revelation and instead leans fully into gradual transformation…small shifts of light, patience, rhythm, memory, conversation. It feels deeply reflective without ever becoming heavy-handed. And that final sense of becoming rather than arriving lands beautifully. A fave for sure. Wonderful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This is a description of the influences of poetry and poets, from self inquiry to solitude and sadness ending with becoming. Well constructed mi amigo

This poem calls out the changes that transform a person from what was to what is and the recognition of this slow process. It is reflected in memories and the acceptance of what is. Nicely written Cryptic

arqios…this feels less like a poem and more like wisdom slowly distilled over years of living and creating. The tone is so calm, measured, and assured that it almost reads like someone setting stones carefully into place. “Everything leans toward becoming” is a gorgeous final line. Beautiful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

It is the last line that struck me strongest. In a world of change everything is becoming literally or as something new. Entropy is change as well and in its own way becoming.
