The Crying Tree
Cheeky Missy said:
What a very, very beautiful dedication to an unknown/unidentified friend. The conclusion alluded to divergent paths whispers of an aching wound which remains a scar, yet how gorgeously rendered with exquisite imagery, a delightful waltzing rhythm and rhyming, not to mention a tender poignancy. Thank you so much for sharing.

Reminds me of when people say to \"choose happiness,\" or \"happiness is a choice.\" It\'s only a choice for some people..

Very lovely and soothing, albeit I must beg to differ with the first lines since Job and etc say quite the opposite and I concur with him since I\'ve known no better despite my proclivity for believing all is better than all know. Prettily rendered with seemingly delicate imagery and a poignancy which belies its weightiness. Thank you for sharing.

While dishes, garments, and sundries I have since my childhood crafted from scratch, friends never. The suggestion is haunted by my inability to pull off anything truly worthwhile, I guess, or else the realization drawn from the past several decades that what is far from perfect nor at all how I ordained it, yet is most perfect and exquisite as I had desired. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Never play games with a woman who isn’t afraid to be alone.
Cheeky Missy said:
Well, I\'ll be jiggered, guess I\'m in a different universe either owing to the cruel work hours scanting me of sleep and sense, or the beauties of this medium wherein we dance, as I could have sworn this was an itty bitty piece last I perused it, and now has grown into an adult of sorts. After that, this is a downright gorgeous number. Wow. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a truly haunting poignancy. Thank for sharing.

A well rhymed and nicely metered poem of a dream friendship. It flows in well constructed and smooth currents. Don\'t we all wish we could find such ideal relationships?

True friendships are built from scratch, and your last stanza sums it all up beautifully. Wonderfully crafted in every way!

Dear, Friendship,
The dire situation of the protagonist overwhelms all advice from a friend, no matter how sincere one cannot ease the state of hopelessness, trapped indeed. A tragic verse, tough to stomach yet somewhat remedied by the poetic flair of its author. The reader is left helpless though in awe of the poem itself.
Wishing you all the very best,
Tony.

My friend, this carries a raw weight…the kind of truth you can’t just walk away from. The rhythm of chains and silence runs steady through each line, and it lingers long after the read. It’s not loud, but relentless…a quiet reality that feels immovable. Beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Forsooth. I guess I\'ve said as much as thousand times and far less succinctly than yourself. Ambivalence has long been mine to stoke, yet by this late in the game I tend to succumb to the grief and ask what the aka living don\'t want to hear. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

When we as people do feel trapped in a world of the past, it\'s nice to have a friend that believes we can get over it, but we naturally assume they don\'t know how we really feel and were to scared to tell them, but sometimes we might assume wrong and they do understand more than we realise, and they could be the key to breaking those chains, nicely expressed and written

Such beautiful rhyme enfolds this poem where it is pointed out that there are two points of view. In that line alone may lay the answer in that changing a point of view can change reality. Very nicely worded this poem

Dear, Friendship,
As if composed in the chrysalis of faith and the many doubts therein as one strives to emerge as free as a butterfly, break the mould, as you say and be the true self. A beautifully composed poem, loaded with class, honesty and if I may, a sprinkle of panache in contradiction to the theme of the poem - perhaps you are finally free or at least getting there.
Wishing you all the very best,
Tony.

These pithy phrases they filled our ears with, none of which can be found precisely in the Scriptures, must be relegated to the damnable falsehoods long propagated by the false prophets and teachers the LORD Himself condemned outright by His prophets. \"Search the Scriptures...\" begs I and you and aught else find Him, not ourselves. We both justify and condemn ourselves, full of foibles and falling short of Him Whom we seem to instinctively know we\'re unworthy of. As the LORD\'s apostle Paul by the Holy Spirit declares, \"But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man\'s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.\" (I Cor 4:3-5) Ergo, though I wish to comfort you, I cannot justify either myself or you but urge you and myself to \"seek the LORD, seek His face continually--\" as the Scriptures also say.
Very beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a familiar, very familiar dogma, not to mention a haunting, clinging, lingering poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing. Hang in there.

Nothing wrong with flaws and faults, they can become strengths, the problem lies in how we got those faults and flaws. Were we naturally born with them or did we adapt to them through other people\'s treatment of us, by their actions they then mould you into what you become. This mould can feel like a prison but it can be broken over time, nicely expressed and written write

We are who we are and sometimes we ask if there were a god why would he make things with faults but in faults there is strength and in flaws there is beauty. Who am I to criticize when I am looking out of blinded eyes. A lovely poem of questions that lead one to a gloomy view. It is wonderful that I am I and you are you.
