There\'s a real truth there Tristan, a true representation of pain. Unfortunately grief at loss has to be, is experienced alone. No one, however hard or well meaningly they try, can do it for you, as from your poem you well know...

There is a sinking feeling with this write. The text and format suggest a single falling feather wending its way downward. Where it lands a silent surprise. Well written my friend.

Tristan this poem could be dedicated to Baruch Spinosa who was excommunicated at 23 and given a writ of herem that did not specify exactly what but for the crime of heresy he was given curses and to this day none rescinded. His main thesis was follow the truth wherever it leads. Religion is not ready for that. Nicely written Tristan

Tristan how do you live day to day being so deep in thought like this about the world? Maybe I’m trying to know your truth just to help with the struggle of mine. Great poem btw… I hate living sometimes cause it feels like hell.

La Destinée
Poetic Licence said:
A very enjoyable and interesting read, the journey is the thing that really matters, we all think we have destinations we want to arrive at, but they can change at the drop of a hat and are fruitless to have anyway, because we all end up at the same final destination, so try to make the most of the journey, pleasure to read

I like this very much. I was always taught that it is the journey not the destination that matters. Your play with words is the same mental process as focusing on the destination. From the root destined and yet is our journey destined to arrive where we aim. Alterations along the way, sometimes taking the road less traveled lead us to a new end, maybe better that the original, maybe worse but it is the trip not the end of life that makes it worth while. A wonderful write and a fave

Simple, sacred, and unflinching—your tree hums with quiet power.
You reach for divinity without flinching, gritty in its devotion.

Nicely said. Your poem revolves around the deep connection between nature and spirituality. The poet expresses admiration and reverence for a tree, which symbolizes life, divinity, and freedom.

Argh! Hope it\'s not a spinach tree (does spinach grow on trees? lol), or spinach patch. Popeye was downcast. He mistook it; it was a cabbage patch. heehee.
A fine write T. There\'s a somewhat similar hymn/chorus starting: \'\'I\'ve taken my harp down from the willow tree (symbolic of sadness)......\'
Play that harp, Popeye, and take a break from glugging. He said he will, but it will only last about, oh, 42 seconds. lol.

Most intriguing Tristan. I believe that what people call divinity is in all things and so this caught my attention. All nature itself is divine to me. Nicely rhymed and worded.

For me a interesting write, totally endorse the Howard section and most of the Thurman section, but personally struggle with the Jesus part. Very strong worded statements that do energise the gray matter, enjoyed the read.

Silence is the scream - and now for some really deep comment from me, but wait...... a distraction..... it\'s the scream of hearing yet another glug! heehee.
We\'ll hear it through a padded cell too, it\'s so loud and so often. lol.

A great acrostic, are the lines in it inspired by Howard? Each has its own power and meaning. Very nicely done Tristan

Rocket Man\'s Descent
Paul Bell said:
This is the hint of British summer where we take fourteen layers of clothes off and embrace the day.
Sadly we walk twenty yards and the great bloody yellow thing decides its not time yet.
You can see why we throw ourselves onto the dirt in toatal despair.
Just realised its meteorological spring, and the rain\'s getting warmer.

This has the real sense of joy and happiness that is so needed, just being blown away as the confusion and despair return to take their normal place. The constant struggle of a troubled mind, will it be heaven or hell today, the question we ask every morning. Pleasure to read

Conjures images easy to imagine in reality, nearly alive. The Dragon is symbolic of so many things. \"To defeat the darkness
One must find the light from within\" is timeless wisdom. Nicely done.

Yes, you had a long walk - up the garden path, as they say - and back again! You tipsy there?
Or....I knows why - you heard a glug, then fainted! lol.

I wonder it this is how one might feel expecting a resurrection at death and finding that there is no heaven or hell just dirt in one\'s grave. A solid write Tristan.

Well written . Tristan, your poem revolves around the poet\'s experience of stepping into a new day, the initial joy of life, followed by a sudden confrontation with feelings of despair and disconnection. The imagery of the sun and the earth symbolizes hope and grounding, respectively.
