A lovely message in this poem my friend. One only depends on oneself for company and joy. Don\'t march to the step of the troops but to one\'s own tune and one will never be lonely or sad. Nicely done

I suppose in a way, Austrailia benifited from prisoners from Britain.
You sort of can\'t get it into your mind that someone who stole a loaf of bread could be shipped out to serve a sentence.
In saying that, all my ancesters came from Australia. lol

Hello, arqios,

An horrendous affair. \'Civilised\' do gooders doing what they do best, adulterating the minds, hearts and freedoms of those poor honest souls of blue skies to grey cobblestons. This is a poem well worth reading, as an Irish man,I found it heartbreaking as it is relative. A superlative passage of poetry. Thank you very much.

Wishing you much happiness,

Tony.

Epic and historical in its implications it dives deep into psychology, culture and social manipulation to tell a tale of man\'s need for conformity. The history of the American Indian, the Australian bushman, Africans and many others adopted into a new culture as well as those captured and raised in a foreign culture and redeemed. Even feral children brought back to society often die or at best find it hard to adapt. A most wonderful write my friend that has implications even for those raised in society with different values and upbringing. This poem deserves far greater exposure. A fave

Insomnia at night, sleep all day. I have hopes that your short enough to remeber poem may be the first step to righting the situation...

Hello, arqios,

In snoring dreams and all is well with the world, the epitome of serenity. I\'m quite relaxed, myself after the reading. A lovely poem.

Fond regards,

We all become children again in dreams and the soft covers of a bed where time has no meaning. A mother\'s loving embrace resurrected in night\'s shadows. This poem is tender and comforting. I loved particularly the first stanza where your poetic imagery breaks the silence like a snore. The last line \"to ruffle night\'s silence\" is marvelous and caught my attention right away. Well done my friend.

Arqios, you\'ve really outdone yourself with this one! 🤣 I\'m trying to imagine the logistics of getting an entire jazz ensemble strapped to someone\'s leg. Talk about a knee-slapping performance! LOL! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Good write A. Doh! A fancy notice said \'Shop closed due to ingress of water\'. Ingress?! Just say the darn place is flooded! lol.
They could have added \'We\'ll be open again when the water has egressed\'. Meanwhile, no one\'s got the foggiest idea of what\'s going on, cos there\'s a word we don\'t hear every day! lol.

What a marvelous metaphor here Cryptic yes poems like water sink over time underground but like that sentence found in the minds of a reader held incomplete. They are caried and find their way into new water where there was only dust. Anonymous, nameless they remain in the human consciousness completed by others and carried on to surface as new water. That water that once flowed in creeks gone underground and forgotten remains, evaporates and rains again to continually flow. The same water nameless but immortal. A fave my friend

Enjoyed the Write. Not letting things get him down by playing Music. \'Without Music, Life would be a Mistake\'. As a Philosopher once said . Who\'s name escapes me.

Light and bright with a delicious play on words. The fellow is to be admired, from loneliness to that great companion - music. Well done, magical.

Fond regards,
