Ah. This Van Gogh makes me want to \"tip toe through the tulips\"! 🤣 Sorry, I couldn\'t resist the Tiny Tim reference. This is stunning, my friend—Vincent absent from walls but blazing in fields, tulips burning with his hand. The metaphor of time’s station pulling us away from what matters is powerful. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ If I am reading your comment right and you are traveling to this very locale, would love to see a real life picture. Perhaps the trip will allow for such a poem/picture pairing! No pressure, though! LOL! Would love to travel to Amsterdam someday. Anywho, safe travels and wonderful poem!

The poem suggests a yearning for deeper experiences and a connection to beauty that is often overshadowed by time constraints and the demands of the modern world.

Subtle yet the message caught like the accent of fine brush strokes and slight changes in color. The rush like the people around the artist too busy to see the beauty and majesty of the art, life gets in the way. Loved it Cryptic you are getting very good at planting the subtle into your poems.

There are an infinite number of parallel universes Rik that show every decision that was or was not made by all of us.

Reading this felt like walking through ruins myself…each small step becoming its own quiet victory. You’ve captured that truth with clarity, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Such a poem Cryptic. Like the dirt road it looks nothing special on the surface but its solid foundation and guiding way takes us onward sheltering our feet from unseen holes and keeping them dry. One step in front of the other never looking back but only forward with each step one step closer to where ever we go. It is a long journey and the destruction left behind is only a memory put out of mind as we look to the horizon. Nicely penned this poem leaves a feeling of resolution and the persistent need to move onward. Loved it a fave

This is quiet brilliance, Arqios…memory aching in drops, silence calibrated in longing, the meniscus caught between holding and release. A piece that lingers in its restraint. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Using laboratory glassware and residue as a metaphor for memory, experience, and lasting impact is innovative and poignant. Lines like “Even the silence left a watermark” are particularly striking. Nicely written.

Cryptic this poem is not as clear as that vial but shows a couple of possibilities, one haunted feelings of age and its deterioration. In this meniscus cleverly used in a triple entendre. and falling weight as in sagging flesh of age. The other may be the sad and nostalgic loss and looking back on a past relationship and its aged outcome. In either case there is a sense of melancholy there. Well done Cryptic

This is quiet testimony...rings, stains, and silence all becoming proof of what’s lived. That final watermark line seals it. Subtle, resonant, and beautifully written, as always my poetic friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Here in metaphor or allegory a great lesson. Markers need to be left. So many missing pieces in history of individuals, societies, the race itself. So many lost poetic thoughts not written and preserved. What marks do we leave for those to come? I am afraid in this technological age of electronic recording that all might be lost. A most lovely and poignant write Cryptic

Rock on, Rik! This feels alive in its quiet defiance. The clock, the shadow, the kite…each image refuses to be dismissed. It’s subtle, but it keeps pushing forward. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ A fave!
