Oh Dan, \"every inch of my life is falling apart\"...that\'s so sad! If you ever need someone to talk to just private message me, tho I\'ll be on vacation next week....YOU ARE STRONG! You can make it through this, whatever life throws your way!!

Bella Shepard said:

This really grabs me, \"a ghost in my shadow\", \"a smile lay deep in the soul\". To me the juxtaposition of these two lines speaks of the surface life, and what lies deep within. That somehow we are never completely drained. Many good wishes for that smile to reappear.

Bella Shepard said:

As I watch the video of this beautiful child, and read your beautiful words, I understand the joy in each moment, as she learns about the world she lives in. Learning comes in so many forms for these little ones, especially with loving parents to guide them. I\'ve been there as a parent and grandparent, and I wish you all the happiness that I know fatherhood will bring.

that picture, alone
is worth a million words
of proclaimed: fatherly devotion!
\'This truly is the hardest most challenging thing I\'ve ever done, building and playing so close to the sun

I\'ll continue to write my legacy while burning up!\'
not only Daedalus
grasps, the true Poignant
poetic brevity of these words
dear brave, Poet!
Thank you! for Choosing
to share
and allowing your Poetry
to guide us
so we may avoid, overcome and wade bravely
though our own
challenging paths, in life

Loved this write dear Dan!
I used to struggle with other people being successful or driving a mercedes benz. I realized I too am successful in all the things I do. It took a while. But your write was a great way to start the day!!!

what a triumph
of life-affirmingly empowering, poetic sincerity!

when poetry, alone
can fuel your marathon ambitions...

That last line says so much but all too often it\'s truth is only realised when what we have is taken away. By which time regrets are too late.

Thank you for this lovely homage to spring! I poked my head out of my cave and found that the world is still there, full of hope. Love the sentiment of your poem.

That\'s the funny thing with our minds,they can make us or break us,show us truth or illusion,and we have to separate fact from fiction, fantasy from reality,but most gets stuck somewhere in between

Teddy is successfully fighting off covid with bow and arrow but has taken to replacing the arrow with a gondoliers pole..... ... the gondolier wasn\'t available for comment but has taken to strolling his hometown in denim. Venice in blue jeans.

It\'s ok to be afraid, just don\'t let it take over your life Dan

Before I push it away again
L. B. Mek said:

\'This fear is actually in a safe place.\'
(It\'s ok
to not, be ok
my friend)
for we\'re all, subjected
to those whims of recency bias..
looking up
at a wondrous sunshine
while cursing
our dampened trouser bottoms, from the puddles
we couldn\'t bypass in our chaotic lives...
so write free, proudly
as few, if any
take time to heed
the side effects
of those accrued bruises, we carry in our hopeful heart\'s...

I missed the date
So I couldn’t ink
But I guess all the poets did justice to the special day
You as well inked the words of gratitude and love for the world so well dear Poetic Dan
