God
sorenbarrett said:
Deeply philosophical it becomes practical in its implementation. A poem of reflection speaking to human nature and a broader definition of worship. There are reasons that men made their idols of gold. Well written and a fave

High road
Thomas W Case said:
Cold, hard truth wrapped in patience and pain—walking alone doesn’t make you noble, just heavier.
The higher road can be a trap; sometimes survival is knowing when to step off.

High road
sorenbarrett said:
Led on to beyond our capability by the wiles of those less capable. How many athletes, movie stars, artists have taken this high road and ended up paralyzed, broken and forgotten. Well written

The intent of this poem remains cryptic to the end. The numbness yes the being held despite the being held. Then comes the end of letting it take you for peace and good. Is it the forgiveness that will take over or is it something darker. Being left in doubt gives this poem power. Nicely done

Gut
sorenbarrett said:
A most interesting write of the mental vs the physical. And don\'t be too sure that the gut goes unarmed, it seems at times to have nuclear power

Warm
Thomas W Case said:
Warmth sticks to these lines like smoke in a dim room—intimate and unafraid.
You let the city fade behind you, and in that hush, the poem becomes the only music that matters.

To be used for another\'s benefit and told that it is for your own good is a twisted manipulation that if one buys into leaves one normal in a psychotic world and psychotic in a normal world. A very mind provoking work

The only Graz that I am aware of is in Austria. Here the linkage stops an enigmatic poem where the mind turns.
