Comments received on poems by Poetic Dan
What you see is not all of me
dusk arising said:
Know what mate, reading your piece today has just made me realise something about myself for the first time.
I\'ve realised why i am a happy and positive person. It\'s not that i dont have negative crap and background, i left home at 15 yrs old, am currently fighting with cancer, have a handicapped daughter, and i\'ve become physically disabled. But b*llocks to all that (and dont for one moment think this is a trawl for sympathy - b*llocks to that). I\'d rather not dwell on any of that when it\'s so easy to think about, or to do stuff which gives me pleasure.
EASY = Nice thoughts and doing nice stuff.
HARD = thinking about things which get me down and depressed.
Thanks mate you made me realise that today.
But why do you think about hard stuff when theres easy stuff to do and think about..... answers on a postcard to Dusky\'s Problem Page

This shows you care ... Dan .. even as you feel sad and unhappy you still want to help others ... that’s how I read the words in your poem ‘ helping where I can and truly trying to keep the love ‘
I understand it’s frustrating when we can’t help others ... but I guess we try and if we can’t then it’s not our fault
Such warmth and care within your words

Yes sometimes we have to \"let it be\" and give misery central stage for a while Dan - -- good points on what makes folk try to keep the positive afloat even when feeling like a \"ghost in the shell\"

such an uplifting perspective, I think your picture mirrors your words metaphorically:
we may all be mere pebbles, in the face of a sea of circumstance and consequence
but our marking lines, can add so much depth to our beauty, and experience of life...
thanks for sharing, there\'s such an honesty to your words, my friend

The purest gift must surely be to be happy and content. Those who make that their hearts goal will be happy and content come rain or shine, come feast or famine.

\'Until I\'m lost in the cycle of another triggering pattern
Never to give in but relentlessly be at the tip of breaking\'..
this is you, at your free flowing Best!
stay Awesome my friend,
walk easy, because if you\'re fighting this much
with this level of dedication
then the outcome, is nothing but a gust of wind of chance
you, Sir: are doing all that\'s asked for you,
and setting a wonderful example for us All to follow...
in the words of the Great \'India Arie\':
\'I believe in open doors
I\'ve taken off the screen
I\'m ready to let the world come inside
And touch my life
I will no longer be defined by
What someone else believes that I am
Now that I have dropped the weight
I am light as a feather
It\'s time to elevate
Soulbird rise
Lift your eyes
Spread your wings
Prepare to fly
This is the moment
Of your life
Go ahead and fly\'

That great succinct shortie really got to me Dan - nothing there to sympathise with. I saw you as wrestling life with the energy to keep on doing so and energy to spare.
I read most of your stuff - even if I don\'t always comment, and I found this one very inspiring.

Good write Dan. You absorbing? Any \'good vibes\' from it?!
I think we can \'transmit\' emotions, such has fear, not spookily, but more as \'influencing\' others. Animals too pick up our emotions, and we pick up theirs.

Well penned Dan. 👍
For when a man
No longer confuses himself
With the definition of himself
that others have given him,
He is at once
Universal and unique

\'Taking in these moments
I think I find the bliss, not something
that can be taught or bought
it just is!\'..
Amen!
indeed, its that mental wear and tear
we must be weary of
because that painstakingly achieved
moment of serenity
will pass us by, in a forgotten blink...
insightful, as always dear poet
