The feel makes me agree on the impermanence of moments and the impossibility of preserving them completely. 🕊️🙏

Could it that the fallen leaves and twigs be as poems and poets making up millions of perpetuated memories....

Tristan Robert Lange said:
This is one of those pieces that earns its ending, my friend. The poet’s heart, the shading tree, the sleeping memory…it all builds toward that final image of a lifetime held gently in open hands. Beautifully done, Norman! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Lovely written. Your poem explores the interplay of memory, emotion, and the passage of time. It reflects on the experiences that shape the human soul, emphasizing the balance between joy and sorrow and the significance of memories in one’s life.

In this poem I hear metaphor the trees become the paper the paths are virtual and imagined. The roots may be for a poem or of life itself. Nicely written it is a fave

I wish there were no wars. I had friends whose dads were soldiers of various defence systems, and I saw how their family was scared before they left for war, \'What if this is the last time we see him?\'
Well written.

There’s a reverence for the natural world here, like the sunset becomes a sacred moment too many people rush past.
The imagery carries a quiet music, reminding us that beauty keeps unfolding whether we stop to witness it or not.

A fine write N. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) you\'ve had plenty of time to hear those larks while waiting for that bus, while they hear your melodious tones of \'Where is that *&^%£!**#! bus?\' lol.

We see ourselves as above other animals but they and the lark sit above us watching us destroy not only them but ourselves. This poem is dark and holds a foreboding feel of self condemnation. Very well written and a fave

There’s a hard tenderness in this—love sitting right beside confusion and pain, neither one letting go.
Even in the fractures, the ending still reaches for repair, like something refusing to fully break.

Norman, what a heartfelt poem. I appreciate that you neither romanticize nor shy away from the reality of mental illness. Instead, you hold onto compassion and the hope that love can still find a way forward. That final stanza is especially moving. Beautiful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This is a lovely poem on a relationship affected by the paranoia of an illness and the desire to still make it work building off old alliances. Well done my friend.
