Well Cryptic you have been rather enigmatic these days, This could be about people taking over the land and keeping a piece of who they are and where they came from while the story of the land before and those there disappear, or it just as well speaks to an individual\'s different stories through life as some fall into forgetfulness while others remain. In any case fragments remain and we must accept them hopefully with stoicism for we have little other choice. I\'m having to use the shotgun method in hopes of hitting something not being a very good shot. Loved it though my friend

Wow, you had me thinking on this one! Well written, my friend. This poem serves to reflect on the nature of resilience, encouraging readers to acknowledge and carry their own \"fragments\" as part of their journey through life. It invites introspection on how individuals cope with despair and find meaning in their experiences.

Enjoyed this write very much! I like your use of strong verbs, makes it very powerful. Excellent write. Your writing is very deep and profound and I\'m sorry I don\'t always capture the full meaning but do enjoy the language and the writing. Thanks-Katie

Arqios, this unfolds with such gentle gravity…a vow carried in breath and sky, trembling yet unbroken. Your imagery always finds the right temperature for the truth underneath. Well done, my poetic friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Well-written, my friend, this poem speaks to me. The poem contrasts the strength of resolve with the uncertainty of existence and the transient nature of time.

Here the seed of thought sprouts in linguistic plant. Morphemes grow into roots of meaning, stems of direction, leaves of gathering strength and the flower of a poem that sends its pollen adrift on the breeze of time unmeasured to shores undiscovered. We never know how a poem or even a phrase may pollenate another poet. Brilliant Cryptic a fave

Intriguing write Rik, that absence can still be filled though.

My friend, the shifting light, the drifting anchor, the rise of a wordless song…it all comes together in a quiet, evolving beauty. You write transition with such ease. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Cryptic the format is complex and beautiful but it is the message that first grabbed me. Although it refers to the format itself I took it as the mind of the poet that in absence of thought or topic grapples and in the end it flows. Well done my friend a fave

The poem “As Absence Turns” explores the complex interplay between presence and absence, suggesting that even in the absence of clear definitions or meanings, beauty and motion can exist.

My friend, this hits with real force… that moment where the body falters but the will refuses to bow… that is powerful. You catch the fight to keep moving… keep writing… keep being. Beautiful work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Such a hard read knowing many that have suffered them. Well explained from an internal view the difficulty dealing with one. Everything slows but the will continues. So nicely written my friend

Your poem explores the theme of resilience in the face of silence and adversity. It suggests that even when faced with overwhelming challenges that threaten to silence one\'s voice and spirit, there remains an inner strength that drives one to create and express oneself.

I have formed this into a hymn-poem, thank you. It should appear shortly. I\'ve added a bit, to make up the number of lines needed for each verse, but hopefully only changed things minimally, and stating your permission to adapt it.

Death knows no bounds, it is an equal opportunity usurper of the famous, the infamous, the innocent and the guilty, and all that is left is the legacy for better or worse. Brilliant write!

My friend, the poem moves with a quiet ache…personal mourning layered over the unmarked graves of history. You carry both truths at once and let them echo. Beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
