sorenbarrett said:

I love this one metaphorically, the wording and meaning. It is gentle but yet so firm, in its lightness there is a heavy meaning. Nicely worded my friend and another fave

Dan Williams said:

This is just brilliant. \" No pilgrim rests here. No stranger lingers. I am only a bridge. as if that is not enough. And the question \"what do you span\" is so on target. Nice. Very nice.

I like how the Light left behind is a part of the Person that has gone.

Friendship said:

Well said. Your poem evokes a deep emotional response as the speaker grapples with the remnants of a past love and the memories that linger, symbolized by the natural imagery.

I know how certain places continue carrying those we have lost, my friend. We return, and somehow their absence is still waiting there for us. This deeply moved me. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Bridge of Sighs springs to mind. An Interesting Story and Write. 🌁

Tristan Robert Lange said:

My friend, this is extraordinary. Grief, inheritance, mentorship, and human connection all meet within something painfully aware of its own fragility. Yet inadequacy never prevents it from fulfilling its sacred purpose…sometimes presence alone carries one soul toward another. Absolutely beautiful work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

cost of love
Tristan Robert Lange said:

My friend, this hit me hard. The collision of childhood innocence and violence is brutal...showing how betrayal at such an early age can distort the very meaning of affection. Painful, powerful, and deeply moving work, Rik. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

cost of love
sorenbarrett said:

The play on words with batteries is most clever. Darkness and the light of torches plays off dualism as does nurture and torture another word play against torch. Nicely done Cryptic. You know I love word play.

Remember Hal from 2001. A Space Odyssey?

neo-priesthood
Tristan Robert Lange said:

My friend, this is chillingly perceptive. Nothing is violently seized, yet human agency gradually passes to a technological elite claiming exclusive access to systems the wider public cannot examine…disturbingly close to where we are heading. Brilliant work, arqios. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

sorenbarrett said:

Chilling it carries a lonely feel, one of isolation insulated from the electronic and human an alienation in a cold dark universe. Well written my friend

Syd said:

This is brilliant arqios, no one notices the small changes over a long period until it\'s too late. Indeed, the faint warmth of the severs will be the only thing keeping us warm in the near future.

I do use and embrace new technology and I\'m aware of the dangers it brings. Great awareness write.

Tristan Robert Lange said:

My friend, this reminds me of people who flourish without attention, praise, or advantage. Their strength rarely announces itself, yet it lasts. Lovely piece, arqios. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
