As It Waits ...
rrodriguez said:
A fascinating poem! I love the metaphor of the demon lurking within the mind, threatening to plunder our memories and rewrite our personal history. Dark, thought-provoking, and beautifully unsettling. The final line leaves a particularly haunting impression.

Instantly I thought of dementia but then I thought of distorted history told by the victors as well and media distortions. Nicely done Kurt

There\'s something wonderfully human about our desire to leave a mark, Kurt, even as time keeps reminding us how temporary everything is. Perhaps learning to appreciate what remains, however modest, is part of making peace with that reality. Much appreciated, my friend! 🍂🕯️🌿🙏

All splendid my favorite is the last one Kurt where the symbol as old as time still steals the show with the circle the perfect form.

Fear As Its Captive
rrodriguez said:
A powerful and thought-provoking piece. I appreciate how you give expression to those hidden shadows within us that sometimes rob us of joy. There is a depth and psychological honesty in these verses. Beautifully written!

Fear As Its Captive

I paused over fear being the captive, Kurt...I’d been expecting it to be in charge. Now I’m wondering what has hold of it. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Indeed it seems true Kurt the past foregoes much. I have thought of this before if it is the victors that write history then we today judge it and mold it to fit our views and purposes. What a twisted mess.

I\'ve known the unpleasant experience of having someone occupy far more space in my thoughts than they deserve, Kurt. Sometimes getting past that takes longer than we\'d like. This one hit home. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Such are the times where pity becomes a jagged blade. Well written. I often find the opposite where jagged edges are worn with time becoming a sense of pity

Ha! Kurt, if only I could collect a dollar every time life proved my plans wrong, I\'d have retired years ago! And knowing my luck, retirement would bring another surprise! LOL! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A lovely reflection on appearance and substance. Sometimes the greatest treasures are hidden beneath the surface. I especially like your closing thought!

Loved this one Kurt the incorporation of perception with the help of a fairytale. Is not everything what we see it to be? A fave my friend

Damn, Kurt. There\'s something genuinely sad about the thought of an entire life passing without anyone remembering it. Makes me appreciate the people who\'ve taken the time to share their stories. A sobering little write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Wonderful little philosophical offering, Kurt! I\'ve always enjoyed exploring the relationship between opposites, especially how they can complement rather than contradict each other. You\'ve given me something to chew on today, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I find this poem intriguing. It is brief, enigmatic, and philosophical. Its strength lies in its attempt to express a profound idea through a small number of carefully arranged images. Thank you for sharing it.
