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

There are those that only have critical words to say, nothing good they see. It is easy to find fault when one looks for it in their life of misery. So much a happier life to find the beauty and save for the important issues one\'s energy. Nicely said Cryptic.

Arqios, this is beautifully reverent…you’ve woven faith and remembrance into one seamless breath. The closing couplet lands like prayer itself. Love it my friend!🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Also, I get the meaning of the labourers in the vineyard parable, cleverly linked with the \'11\' of Remembrance here.

How many young kids were killed for the ego of some despot, and still going on today.
We remember them as we should and hope it never happens again.

Beautiful a reverent tribute to past wars of senseless slaughter of blood spilt on both sides for the greed and anger of a few. A wonderful homage for those that fell.

I\'m thinking of the flowers in my garden, who tend to do a runner when they see me coming.
Now that you\'ve mentioned farting flowers, a new plan is forming.

Nature full of paradox, beauty is more than a veneer. It shines from within and laughs at the arrogant and haughty. It does not deem itself as anything more than what it is and has a charm of its own. A lovely poem light hearted but with a message. Nicely done my friend

what a beautiful way to describe the passing days....yes, the body does get heavier, and the breaths shorter, but the quiet in between will always be yours to measure, and be satisfied

Amen. This is just wonderful, articulates so well what may be an epidemic. Stalling out halfway through a sentence, unable to call up names known for a lifetime,
\" corridors I no longer patrol\". well spoken! nice work!

The rise and fall of life with no battery charge required.
In a strange way, there\'s a realisation it\'s happening, but happen it must cause life dictates it should.
Poignant moment for us all, check your time clocks.

Between shadow and person, reflection and real, what was and is there is a land a dimension of neverland where time does not exist and thoughts are stored. Not dark not light it holds what is not real and is only imagined but yet has not sprouted into fantasy. It is a reflection and echo of memory. This poem has a noir feel my friend
