Lorenz this caught my attention because as a young child I too went up the third story attic of my grandfather and there was an old tube floor radio that stood as tall as me and I was fascinated with it being already a very old antique in 1959. We all want to be Peter Pan and never grow up I suppose now that I have lost my shadow I would rather just fade away. A good write my friend.

Naivety does not appear as a flaw; rather, it reveals itself as a form of wisdom, one that has no need to justify its right to exist through violence or fear. Even the volcano, ancient and potentially destructive, has slept for so long that children can laugh at it. Danger exists, but it does not rule; it is woven into the order of things. The turning point comes beyond the visible horizon, where another way of thinking takes shape, one that sees itself as the only truth and therefore has no need for dialogue. An excellent poem.

It reminds me of Kierkegaard, but written in the voice of Bukowski who has gone through university.

A powerful poem! It contains that harsh truth that is usually hidden beneath the industry’s glossy surface.

This poem reflects on the longing for one’s roots and the inevitable journey of life, filled with memories, loss, and the pursuit of meaning.

Lorenz, this poem is built on the Buddhist cosmology of states of consciousness, not merely on abstract metaphors. Wonderfully written.

The past never disappears; it turns into a resonance that shapes our perception of the present. Your poem moves within that resonance. It is beautiful, memorable, and profound.

So many songs so many memories haunt these shores. Death but a change and I don\'t want to give up those tunes. A lovely walk down memory lane.

The poem is about primordial meaning, about returning to the origin of being in the cosmos and in the human.

The combination of childlike sincerity and adult irony creates a vivid duality. This tension makes the text fluid and allows both emotional depth and intellectual distance to emerge. Beautifully written!

\"\"The best way to learn is through the powerful force of rhythm\" and of course \"The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between\" from a guy who only lived to thirty-five. All nicely detailed here. Nice work.

Neptunian reverie
Ellen Marsell said:
There is a magnificent blend of imagery here: oceanic, Eastern-spiritual, abstract-geometric, and sensual. This mix creates an effect of cosmic Zen.
I enjoyed it very much!
