I remember well that bottle and the smell with the red tint. It is a flash of yesterday and its sting. What good it did was about as good as the advice they gave me. A good read my friend.

That peace is with me as well Rik, it certainly comes with old age and we are very lucky to be here in that peace.

Good write T. You cool now in that terrazzo thingy? Yes, there\'s \'heated\' emotions too, maybe noisy or \'unquiet\'.
And breeze now, not wind, in the \'evening\' of life. Not that you\'re \'old\', but Goldfinch and I are millions of years old, so we say! lol.

arqios, this poem feels like a resting place. The journey you describe doesn’t end in triumph, but in stillness, reflection, and self-trust. Imagining this may find its own special spot in its reading feels exactly right…it deserves to be returned to. A beautiful, calm piece, dear friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This feels like the long exhale after a life well lived.
Quiet wisdom settles into every line, and it feels earned.

Cryptic this is a lovely reflection on the aging process each line giving emphasis of what was and now is (chasing the wind as opposed to walking with the breeze) a calmer time where energy is now turned inward and where tunes are now mere whispers. The flavors now mellowing, the floor now cooled from the warmth of the past still a memory, wrinkles the map of years, a reservoir of strength built up over years now gives quiet and peace. A fave

I love the line, “Tomorrow’s whispers guide us\". It\'s really stayed with me. It suggests guidance without force…possibility without pressure. Paired with the closing embrace of the present, it gives the poem a soft but purposeful arc. Beautifully handled, my dear friend.. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Arqios, innocence of past years...I guess when I was a kid. However, when I grew up? An intriguing line (well, to me anyways!)
Btw, that picture. It`s something else!

Should be the poem of the week to guide us through the turmoil we call life now.
I will take the words to the football today and hope for the best.

arqios, this is a wonderful write, my friend. The mythic frame, the generational shift, and the promise carried forward all work together seamlessly. It’s not just about victory, but guidance…indeed. Powerful piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Blending the astrological with the mythical this poem reaches for a metaphor of reality. New beginnings. A wonderful work Cryptic

I love this kind of writing, Arqios. I need to let this one marinate for a while. Keep a (long) eye out for the Phoenix, if you catch my drift?!

A fine write A. Ahh, wishing for snow at 38C or thereabouts? The temperature I mean, not the lines of latitude on a map. But you is in Summer now! lol.

Indeed it does! arqios, this feels hushed and deeply felt. The stillness carries that quiet winter weight, and the ache beneath it is unmistakable. That fight you name…it’s right there in every drifting thought. I VERY MUCH relate to this, my dear friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
