Indeed we do carry memories, momentos of the past and its occupants with us through the day and time in general. A small part of what they gave us carried as our flag. Very nice Cryptic loved how the last line \"woven into the morning\" ties the theme and subject together symbolically and literally

This is me stepping into my day, only changing when the railway station gets closer and all hell is let loose.

Lovely said. Your poem captures a moment of tranquility and stillness before the onset of a new day. It suggests a connection to nature and the importance of taking a moment to breathe and prepare for the activities ahead.

Your poem seeks to challenge traditional notions of beauty, precision, and order, advocating for a broader understanding of truth that includes flaws and imperfections. It serves as a reminder that authenticity is found in the unpolished aspects of life and creativity.

Standards aren\'t slipping anymore, they\'ve plummeted.
Once upon a time you would get hammered for doing a shit job, now it\'s the norm.

The mark of the owner. What sets it aside from the sterile, the plastic veneer of machine made mediocrity. A personality that makes it human. Not perfect but perfection in its blemishes, art in error love in a marring touch that leave a fingerprint. A beautiful write Cryptic

Friendship said:
Well written, the poem\'s themes and style appear influenced by Vasily Surikov\'s works, the celebrated Russian painter known for historical and dramatic art. Surikov was a prolific muralist who struggled financially and with housing. His artistry shines through in this poem; I remember learning about him in school as a great artist.

Interesting the choice of red ink just like blood. The use of the breathing wind as the breath of life. The wind too at times stops only to start again another day. The cycle of life neither life or death something new. I loved the metaphor of winter here. Seasons too come and go in an endless cycle. There is the feeling of eternal in this poem. Lovely and a fave

Good write A. Or maybe some churches, when services are not taking place. One goes into a \'room\' or area, and with silence in some buildings it can be painful to the ears. Or an atmosphere, or influence, or presence is sensed.
Not too much deep thinking now, Fido says to me. And he says too: \' You know it only gives you a headache!; you rarely get meanings of cryptic poems\' lol. He of course understands 99% of absolutely everything. I probably understand the other 1%.
