Beautiful, Rik...hope here isn’t some passive expectation that everything will work out. It’s something deliberately tended through all those small, stubborn choices we keep making. Quiet resilience with real weight behind it. Loved this, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

My friend, this really moved me…celebration and grief exist together without either diminishing the other. The honor belongs to the living, yet love carries it beyond death. Beautifully rendered! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Deep meaning in mythologic terms from the underworld of Persephone to the heights of Zeus there is an existential journey here that pales the trips of Odysseus or Jason. Well written my friend

The dune across from Dover
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Arqios, this really moved me…there’s such a deep sense of stillness here. The landscape isn’t just observed, it’s inhabited, and by the end I felt like I was walking those dunes beside you. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Slow patience is the feel that I get with this poem. It speaks in a timeless voice. The wording is delightful and I can feel the salt air in it. Its very opening sets the tone. A delightful first stanza a beach combers vision. the second stanza introduces metaphor in personification of the grass. The third stanza draws a beautiful image that is clear to any that have walked the beach with open eyes. In the fourth another metaphor introduced. The last stanzas fill in the feeling and metaphors melding them together into that drifting feeling I have had so many times walking that shore. It leaves a solitary feeling of meditation. A most lovely write one of your best. A definite fave

\"old arguments between land and water\" - A beach personified. I felt that.
Place doesn\'t happen to be Dunkirk, does it?

What a wonderfully clever piece, Rik. The unusual spacing delivers the joke perfectly...while the ending transforms ordinary writerly frustration into something unexpectedly introspective. Brilliant work, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Yes, and spellchecker too. There was a \'naughty\' that it interpreted. Can\'t say in public. Blush! lol.
And you\'ll know my tale of searching for the meaning of Carpe Diem. By the time I found out, there was no day left to seize! Well, I was searching fishing terms for three hours, I thought it was to do with carps. Doh! Could it only happen to me? lol.

Some time it takes time to realize ...............what was I saying? Oh yes to realize. Good one Cryptic some words have no synonym and for some things there are no words.

Arqios, what a beautiful piece. The imagery is delicate throughout, and the tension between being anchored and being lifted gives the poem such emotional depth. By the time you arrive at the closing invitation, it feels deeply personal without ever losing its quiet elegance. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A person Mentally or Physically wanting to be somewhere else. But unable for some reason.
As for French: I only know enough to get my face slapped.
Good Poem.

Beautiful Cryptic I read the Italian as is although my Italian is poor and next to none I was able to see it was a translation of the English and bravo for the ability to put it in both. The poem itself seems an interpretation of the art but even more it speaks to what holds us all to where and who we are. A mesmerizing write and I am not sure if it is I that am opening my eyes or you that have grown in your poetic ability. This was magnificent
