Arqios, I found myself thinking about ideas, communities, and even people while reading this. Things can be forgotten, overlooked, or tested, yet somehow persist because others continue to carry them forward. I really enjoyed that aspect of the poem. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

For me this is about human aspiration.Wanting more that Life can give.And so let the shadows drift because in the end you make your own destiny.I could br wrong here but that\'s life.

Ideals and idols come and go just as shadows pass but one is always left with oneself. Let that light shine and cast its own shadows. Well written my friend

Arqios, this took me right back to that strange season of life where everything feels urgent and alive. Friends become entire worlds, every day feels important, and you are constantly reaching toward something just beyond your grasp. This resonated with me. Great job on this, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

the price of looking
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Arqios, this really moved me. I love how the poem refuses to frame love purely as suffering or sacrifice. Instead, it embraces the cost willingly. There is tenderness and devotion here, but also a quiet acceptance that beauty is rarely free. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This one seemed to me Cryptic a series of connected snapshots of not only action but emotion and something beyond. There seems a theme of connection and the whole poem is filled with excitement and urgency. Lovely my friend

A bittersweet reflection on love and pain, where suffering is strangely accepted as beauty, carried with quiet honesty throughout.

You often hear of Someone who is Beautiful but Terrible to live with. You last lines are sadly true. Good Write.

Nicely written. Your poem captures the essence of love as both a beautiful and challenging experience, resonating with anyone who has navigated similar feelings.

Many look for physical beauty in searching for a mate this often comes with a price of living with a undeveloped inner self, egocentrism, pride, infantile qualities. The first thought that I had when reading the title was the price of admission when entering an art gallery or theater, a music festival, or museum. Beauty costs even in the effort of its owner to maintain it. Workouts, diet, with a car or house maintenance a yard or garden. Even a painting needs periodic cleaning and care. A poem itself needs periodic readings by someone or its beauty is lost. Nicely done Cryptic a strong message and warning to any that wish to possess beauty

Arqios, this really spoke to me. There is something quietly uplifting here...the sense of moving forward despite resistance. In just a few lines, you capture motion, determination, and perspective all at once. Beautiful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The very brevity of this work bodes depth of meaning the forces involved air and wind imply the restlessness already mentioned. The tugging and leaning effect. Then there is the following of the shadow. This well could be social movement or individual change. A powerful write my friend

A man committed to his work - seeking no attention - letting his work speak for him - what a wonderful way of presenting how actions can speak louder than words, and advertisement is not always necessary.
