That was good stuff. Both the poem and what ever you smoked before you wrote it. Full of wild images that fell out like a drunk from a phone booth. Lovely

A most interesting tribute so to speak. It has that tongue in cheek kind of attitude.

The Truth
sorenbarrett said:
The first sentence is my favorite line. Powerful and unexpected but rings true. An unconventional look at the issue of God or no God and what follows psychologically. Very well done

Tribute to a part of us we often take for granted unil we loose it. Some powerful lines (a tool to pluck the eye when sorrow is past thought) great use of opposites (and build by its destruction) Very nicely done.

A differing rain however the variance of method, for myself a ‘poetic corroboree’ online in what could be deemed as a digital desert of sorts in some areas. Forgive the tangent, tracing a parallel of visualisation.

Written with care and feeling this fine poem brings me to the location. Some great lines are contained in this work of art. \"the place where love waits for its time\" \"The long walk from their dreaming\" \"They turn the logs for love is a burning whose warmth lies beneath\" Even the title is a great line.

How freaking cool is that certainly does that for me sometimes and I’m guessing whoever reads this he’s gonna find several phrases in there that are automatically attached to episodes that they’re familiar with. This is great writing my friend.
