a remnant\'s prayer

This poem does what real prayers do: it doesn’t ask to be fixed, it asks to be seen. The way you split “guilt- free” makes me feel the cut in real time, and by the time we get to “am i this tree?” the metaphor stops being a metaphor. You’re not describing the stump. You
are it — rooted, exposed, still here after the forest is gone. That last “Lord, have mercy” lands different from the first one. It’s not ritual anymore. It’s recognition. Thank you for writing something this honest, dearest Tittu ❤️ a fave 🌹

lovely written, your poem involves introspection on guilt, the human condition, and a connection to nature, represented by the forested tree and the plea for mercy.

This feels like a conscience talking to itself in a quiet place where nothing is hiding anymore—just raw honesty, stripped down to bone and breath.
There’s a haunting tenderness in it, like asking questions that don’t need answers to still matter.

A rather deep reflection of being part of everything and what we do to that around us we do to ourselves. A most lovely and deep write.

Great write Tristan. You put a lot of yourself into your work. That moves the reader which I think is what we all want, for our words to have the power to persuade, change minds, melt hearts.

I love how the forest clearing becomes a clearing of self. \"An itch appeared and spoke to me and begged me not to scratch” — what a way to describe healing. And that last distinction between “genuine to me” and “genuinely me” is everything. This is sacred work. Very well written dearest Tittu ❤️ a fave for sure🌹

Well said. Your poem explores the tension between personal identity and the burdens of one\'s past experiences. You highlight the journey of self-discovery and the realization that one\'s true self cannot be constrained by pain or history.

I thought this would be summat like: A lingering sound, ominous, terrifying, (the sensible bit, then it turns daft)..... a glug from somewhere, we hear. Do we know from where? Of course we do, but WCAT any further! lol.

A powerful poem. Your poem revolves around the struggle to remain grounded and calm during challenging times. The poet expresses a desire to learn how to \"abide\" in moments of distress or uncertainty, indicating a need for inner guidance and resilience. You focus on themes of self-reflection, emotional turmoil, and the pursuit of peace amidst chaos.

How deep
The shackles of self-disbelief
Grip the one
Who seeks the Sun
The ultimate test
Lets not rest
In our quest
To live lightly
Not take ourselves
Or life too seriously.
Great write, Tristan!

Tristan this breaths philosopher\'s stone from alchemy and in the word shaped apothecary jar. It is dark and full or the humors of body fluids and speaks to the belief that transmutation can be achieved through magical means. Well done my friend
