Wonderful word sculpture, Tristan... No worries, but I leave others to interpret.
Thanks.
PS: I\'m very intrigued by labyrinths - \'think you could do one of those one day? (seriously...)

I like the playful manner that you set up the format for this poem, the ups and downs and swirling around of the letters emphasized the meaning in the poem. It has an existential nature to it and begs for self interpretation. It ends on a somewhat dark note. Nicely done, Tristan.

Good write T. Is that a glugger or Santa sneaked in there with that Yo-ho-ho line?! Abscess or apse in that church?
My own dark poems starts off: \'From the depths of the darkness, we hear a glug, glug, bit it\'s nothing mysterious to us; we knows who it is\'.

Your poem explores existential themes of despair, loss, and the haunting nature of memory. The central idea revolves around the struggle against darkness and hopelessness, represented by the imagery of fire that produces no light.

Old McPopeye sings - here a glug, there a glug, everywhere a glug glug. Everywhere? Arghh! lol. I went to McPopeye\'s once - mistook it for McDonalds. It\'s Too Much Info to tell what happened. heehee. I should have spotted the sign saying: \'Under New Management; spinach a speciality\'.

Yes, because the silences are at least as important as the struck (or in this case, plucked\" notes.

All in one, Tristan. they’d rather not hear because of the fear which clears them away from listening. They\'d rather not change but stay within range of what they think they know.
You make yourself too malleable by those unavailable to new ideas.🙃😊

Yes, it\'s the palm off, and why guys don\'t share their problems.
21st century is a mental health nightmare that no one escapes from now, and I\'m sure it\'s the barriers that prevent you moving forward, and the chancers on social media who live in cupboards but have opinions on everything.

Why, yes, they say the same to me. I ask \'Why?\' They reply in one of two ways:
(a) Cos you\'re a crashing bore and I can\'t stand listening to you when you get waffling over your photo albums yet again\' (lol)
or (b) Cos you only talk about a certain fella and Co - and if I hear glugging once more, I will........ (heehee).

I\'m not quite sure if it\'s what you meant, but the chord harpies\' screeches are not unlike the harsh bizarre sounds that come from an old, out-of-tune harpsichord. Good poems often morph into sound in the mind. You hit the spot!

How true it is that the lack of sound can be heard as loud as any other note. This poem in its brevity tells quite a story in some ways mystical in some ways, philosophic very nicely done Tristan.

Well written, Tristan, this speaks to my heart,❤️Your poem explores the themes of despair, haunting memories, and the inescapability of one\'s internal struggles. It suggests that even silence, which is often perceived as peace, can be oppressive and suffocating. Yet to me, this poem serves to express the complexity of human emotions, particularly how art (in this case, music) can evoke and encapsulate feelings of sorrow, entrapment, and the struggle for peace amidst chaos. The poet may be attempting to confront or articulate their pain, seeking understanding or catharsis through the written word.

The Jesus sentiment is a great thing, and I believe everyone agrees with that.
At some point the money men got hold of all this good and self promoted it to their own ends.
The Vatican, Church of England, the American churches. The amount of wealth is staggering, and for some reason the guy dying on the cross just gets left behind.

The poem emphasizes inclusivity, grace, and the importance of spiritual renewal. It communicates the message that everyone, especially the marginalized and the poor, deserves vitality and salvation, irrespective of societal judgment.

Doh! Does that mean J.Wesley knocked, but the door was not opened unto him? To reverse some of the words of a song there.
There\'s someone else knocking at the door, but we dare not let him in. We can hear him outside - a glugging sound, I fear. lol.

A poem that I feel the surge in. Electrical it shocks and in its current reminds that we are not machines that are owned and controlled by a master but our own beings with our own power and will not tolerate having the plug pulled.
