Their Sunlight

Pure poetic genius!
\'in my humble opinion\'
what you\'ve achieved is immeasurable
in empathetic, value!
distilling, unfurling - and wording accessible
such complex, incoherent - torrents
of emotions and self-warped, interpretations
of minutia details, in our everyday
that collate over time
to make-up, those entrenched
anxieties and
\'invisible, pebbles in shoes\': discomfort
in our skins
we find so hard, to rid ourselves - of...
(thank you for choosing to share
your poetic genius with us, dear Poet
I hope you share this work, far and wide
for within it you\'ve imbued, a camaraderie
and consoling, relatability
that can heal a lot of wounded, souls
I wish you, every success in all your endeavours)
these lines, in particular floored me:
\'It’s the little things,
The gentle snubs,
The drooping looks,
They subtly cut,

These seeds can grow,
They can flower into doubt,
A lack of attention
And now I’m wilting

They were my water,
But now there’s a drought.\'
