Whether taken literally or metaphorically this poem bleeds sadness over being on one\'s own and no one noticing or even caring and whatever one has being passed on to one who is not there. The chorus adds power to the message. A fave

unfulfilled desires always come back to haunt us, and ask us why we did not take the chance when handed to us on a platter

Joy to the world indeed as I wandered through this lovely poem, as if opening a door to the beauties of life. A poem and therein all that is joyous.
My kind regards, David,
Tony.

The world does not ask to be noticed, yet still, it hums.
A leaf sways, a bird turns, light shifts against the window—
without urgency, without demand.
What if wonder was not something sought,
but a joy that is always remembered?

How easily we overlook the simple things that have the most beauty and importance. How often do we think of breathing. Loved the meaning in this poem

I particularly loved the last three lines David. The rhyme and feel for it was great but my favorite was the image of sleep as a gentle thief. Very nice

Stars burn, but wounds of light remain,
While hands grasp for what won’t sustain.
The night calls sharp, to where visions ran,
Unraveled dreams where nascent truths began

This is beautiful poetry, composed with delicate care and a flair for the poetics. Especially so, the first stanza, that being said, the poem in its entirety is a grand affair and one to be savoured. Excellent, David.
All the very best to you,
Tony.

Thoroughly enjoyed this poem. Liked your rhyme scheme and loved the line , \" Love lets us believe in eternity.\" Though it ends sadly, it has an air of reality. Liked the use of nature in relation to love.

David this is a gem. It\'s beauty is in its subtlety and I had to read it three times before It sank through my thick skull the total meaning that I could only feel but not grasp. This is a thoughtful poem for those wounded in love that has moved on to better pickings. A fave

That is a wonderful read, like a short story beautifully crafted. I was a bit worried by the title as here that means something a bit more adult, enjoyed the read
