Good write A. Strange place for a train - in a shopping centre. lol.
I fear - and yet I don\'t fear really, as it\'s no surprise, that I don\'t believe humanity will improve of their own doing. I bring in religion, or rather Christianity here, believing all mankind needs that help for salvation. Otherwise Christianity could be just a hobby of little old ladies going to church as a club, or some eccentric interest that some people may have.

That was purrrrfect, my friend! Enjoyed this, and I am pretty sure my daughters two feline rascals did too. 🤣 The one cat is so large/long, he might be a distant cousin to a panther if not a lion! Well done on this poem! 🌹👏

This is so very deliciously laden with more than initially meets the eye, until like many poems I used to try to collect, I want it. \'95 was not particularly memorable for me but how eloquently you\'ve rendered it herein. Delightfully full of exquisite imagery with a sweetly haunting poignancy oh! I love it. Thank you very much for sharing.

Meow? I guess when twas a fall guy the jellied toast was strapped to its back securely, keeping it forever turning in air, with Schrodinger surmising on eternity, was that? Math stumped me when geometry leered and I spent that life on futility, I guess. Being the language of science, I\'ll balance equations, yet go no further. Why your conclusion brought to mind, \"...the lion of the tribe of Judah hath prevailed--\" I can\'t guess, but there you go. Fascinating and beautifully rendered with gorgeous imagery and an exquisite, haunting poignancy.

It is here that the poet comes out. Relationship of words and the subtle differences that make up each with a life of its own. Nicely crafted were any or these Schrodinger\'s cat? If so was it alive or dead?

A positive message in that we all have a lion somewhere inside us, and we can break free from our perceived life and chains, nicely written

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Have no experience in Antwerp, but 1995 was a consequential year for me. I was a new and aspiring poet for one...still aspiring, not new anymore! 🤣 Had maybe picked up the craft about 3 years earlier. That year I had my first \"published\" poem in my high school literary magazine. It was also the year my depression, anxiety, and the effects of a TBI really kicked into full swing. This poem brought all of that and more back. It is amazing how the times change, but individual years can feel so locked in a specific place. I survived 1995 and did so defiantly! Not a single regret...though somethings I would (perhaps) do differently. Thank you for this poem, my friend. Always look forward to your offerings. 👏🌹

A picture painted well that might be a metaphor for oneself as well. How well do we know ourselves and may we misconstrue parts of ourselves seldom seen or that of others for ourself? A very nicely crafted poem Cryptic

1995. A special year for me. Never been to Antwerp, but I\'ve drunk Belgian beer.
Enjoyed the trip down one of your memory lanes. I barely know myself, only the imposter \"selves\" clamoring for their spot in the limelight!

Wow! Transformed and, while I thought the last one was masterful, you have upped the bar with this iteration my friend. I love how you begin the last section, not with a \"heading\" of sorts, but a question. Hope? You then proceed to paint what that hope feels like and how it leads to acceptance. This...wow! Excellent job, my friend! 🌹👏

Denial was a word I knew like so many words entered in the dictionary without reference to real life, until, that is, until a coworker scornfully queried whether I was \"...still in denial--\" and I began the journey towards reality, I guess. Rendered to effect with such excellent imagery and an exquisite poignancy which grips the knowing soul, reviving that familiar hollow and pain. Thank you for sharing.

A powerful and touching write on the process of accepting grief and what comes with it, and hopefully then turn the grief into positive memories, enjoyed the read

Acceptance is a two edged sword that cuts both ways. It is an angel heaven sent and a devil that submits surrender of the cause. A nice metaphoric presentation of the process of grief lovely my friend

It\'s a solemn theme, of people departing and one stage of grief being denial. But meanwhile, on a daft theme: Cooeeee, I\'m coming through the door again; I never left ya; I always hang around like a.... bad smell; dunno why ya thought I went away; I must have been hiding under a cupboard. heehee. Woof! Behave, says Fido to me.
