Greetings, arqios,
How an abrupt ending can heartbreakingly linger on on paper. I know the feeling well. A touching poem.
Wishing you all the best,
Tony.

arqios, I can practically hear somebody say, “See? You did fine,” after spending the whole damn time making it harder. LOL! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

You can never be too careful, one extra sip of coffee, and Jumbo has landed on Mavis, who is taxiing out to the runway to take her pilots test.
Sadly, Mavis didn\'t pass her test.

I once witnessed a martial artist in a sparring match. I can only describe his movement as imagining how a dragon standing upright would move. The \"opponent\" couldn\'t lay a finger on him, yet he didn\'t lay a finger on the opponent either. He later said in an interview that if he starts to think about doing the movements \"right,\" or \"looking good,\" \"not getting hit,\" etc. then his form-movement-balance collapses and he is in trouble. Great write, Arqios.

I agree with Sorenbarrett.
Here\'s my two cents for this piece.
Not every correction is an act of guidance. Sometimes, it is simply control disguised as instruction.
Nice metaphor..

Not a pilot, not an air traffic controller a metaphor with poor understanding of its base. Why so much control, so many variables in a life of death situation. We want too much some times and there seems too many people interfering. So simple yet so tough.

Ariqos, this is precisely the sort of existential rabbit hole I enjoy wandering into! LOL! We’re such wonderfully complicated creatures, aren’t we? Half the time we can’t even agree with ourselves! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The good in oneself retrieved in the feelings for another - the healing arts of love. There is great power in this one and it lingers on. Excellent, my friend.
Wishing you fine health,

If waiting for eyes to see must be the written word. So many times the meaaage waits for its turn to be read and understood 🤔

The complexity of living woven into this work. Each line (some with subtle rhyme) flows forth with great metaphors and allegories. It weaves a complex pattern as is life itself where one needs to stand far back to see its pattern and beauty. Beautifully written my friend

There’s something quietly confrontational about this, Rik. It makes me wonder how often we mistake feeling strongly about something for actually caring enough to do something about it. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

It is in paradox that this one speaks to me in metaphor as well and here there are too many closed doors for my meager mind to proceed and it surrenders after a few attempts. There is meaning in green to grey. The paradox of willful in line with nature is most interesting. Personification has long been present in the area of mother. Two hearts in one paired with another paradoxical statement \"love\'s indifference\". Lastly the redemption of self interest is an interesting way of stating taking care of self needs first. This one feels greater than my meager mind can comprehend

Come on, that will not be your last.... oh you just mean the last time you searched? Lucky you only got stuck between a cat video and the smell of rain. There are much deeper holes...
One of your \'moment\' poems I really enjoyed.
