taking up arms
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Arqios, this really lands…that pull between honour and what’s actually happening, especially in that image of it all collapsing into something brutal. It doesn’t dress war up, it just shows the cost. I appreciate you putting it this plainly. Strong write, my friend..and no worries at all about YouTube…it happens. Is that your YouTube Channel? Love the video and the poem...again, great job! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Thomas W Case said:
Gritty, relentless, and unflinching—this one drags you through the mud of duty and blood.
The voice is mournful yet defiant, holding the raw weight of young lives caught in war’s machinery.

Again, I cannot help but have visions of the film Lord of the rings. This certainly applies to much more than that. It seems an exhortation and call to arms that might well apply to any era. Nicely written.Cryptic

Arqios, this feels like those moments of moving on without needing closure…just letting what was remain where it is and continuing forward. I know that kind of step. Strong piece, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Beautiful imagery disguise the metaphor. Home left behind and the world with all its perils and difficulties ahead. Nicely composed it is a fave

Obviously a dialogue between you and Tristan then. An enjoyable stroll though, none the less...

Arqios, this hit me hard…there’s a quiet humility here that feels grounded and steady. It doesn’t reach upward too fast, it just stays where it’s placed. That patience carries. Powerful piece, my friend. Happy Easter to you! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This made me think of - we\'re made of dust, a storm in a teacup, a dust-storm, making mountains out of molehills... maybe. Don\'t say I\'ve turned cryptic. Not got enough brain cells for that! I will be OK after a lay down in a dark room. lol.

Your poem beautifully captures the tension between our earthly roots and higher potential 😊. The imagery of seeds and growth is a powerful metaphor for human journey. Very well written!!!

Arqios, there’s a grounded holiness in this…taking something often framed as spectacle and bringing it back into the everyday. That image of the leaf, the child’s whisper…those moments carry it. It feels lived, not declared. Well done, dearest friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️

Well said Cryptic it is the ear that determines what is sacred not the sign. All things in nature are holy we decide what we want to see or hear. A fave for the message so well sent
