Is Peace Just a Fantasy.
Cheeky Missy said:

Mmm... what we fail to recognize in the face of such an insidious reality is how lacking we are of the most essential on that score: peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Had men THAT, yes, all, there would be peace methinks. With the internal struggle alive, or seemingly quelled by the devouring of mankind our neighbors, and the world entirely itself, how can there possibly be peace? They say, \"Misery loves company;\" and I see it night and day, trying to foist itself upon me that I\'d join it. I\'d rather not. But enough. Gorgeously eloquent and excellently rendered with superb imagery and a fitly haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

I fear that mankind as a species is unable to live in peace.
But I still hope that someday I will be proven wrong.

Perhaps there will never be real peace until the sword of Manjushri is turned inwards. By everyone.

It appears that violence is part of the human DNA and greed as well. It is what fuels the economy as well as war. Peace was a nice thought too bad it didn\'t work out. A poem that leaves a dark feeling and one too realistic I\'m afraid. Nicely said

To Be Alone

Almost visceral! Marvelous write. I won\'t say \"loved it\" ... doesn\'t convey the my feelings. Somehow I connected with it, I felt I understood the yearning and the changes

Cheeky Missy said:

Fascinating. The images gradually conjuring a sense of drowning in the seas, I become aware of the unstated detail carefully presented to effect. Winsome and charmingly rendered with nigh exquisite imagery and a hauntingly painful poignancy. Thank you for sharing. Methinks I know the answer.

Cheeky Missy said:

That wry twist in concluding with echoes of O. Henry, leaves more of a smirk than a happy smile as chagrin replies. Superb. Disarmingly rendered with excellent imagery and a tantalizingly haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Whether taken literally as being about gangs and gang violence, or metaphorically to mean something else, this is a poem with a powerful punch, Tobani. Well done!

Too often things separate us as family and then we have to ask what is family and its value. A most interesting write that asks the reader to dive deep into values of affiliation.

I came across an article that was saying that death (of the body) begins in the legs. Your poem brought back some sweet childhood memories. Thank you!
Now, what did Bruce Lee say ? \"Be like water.\" And of course, I don\'t think he meant stagnant water. Flowing water!

An inspiring write, PL
Water means everything to everything.
Failed as a beverage, however.

Tristan Robert Lange said:

Wishful thinking is fun to do my friend, and this got me thinking wishfully. Thank you for that. The idea of the waves rolling over your feet and the healing feeling the ocean generally has when in it...barring when its rough...really pulled off well here my friend. And it brought me to the beach in my mind...which is never a bad thing. This need not necessarily be about the ocean, but that is the image I had when I read it. Well done! 🌹👏

sorenbarrett said:

Water, one of the four basic elements of old. It cleanses, is powerful and flexible. Used as a symbol of cleansing of sins in baptism in Christianity. The Tao speaks of its qualities. Listen to Melville who devotes chapters on its metaphor. A wonderful and powerful poem T.
