Reasons

Poetic Dan

I could give an endless list
For the reasons I should exist

 

Yet I'm still conquered
By a deep rooted feeling

 

Countless battles
Slowly conceding

 

So I write and I write
About everyone I get

 

No matter what it is
Letting go, no regrets

 

Knowing is just half
Being is the other step

    You’re a lion!

    • Poetic Dan

      Thank you and inside you is a lioness!

    • orchidee

      I'm a bit lost, as to what the deep rooted feeling is.

      • Poetic Dan

        Short answer! I should never of been born.

        Much love and respect

        • orchidee

          But if you was not born, we would have none of your fine poems, for one thing!

          "Knowing is just half, 'Being' is the other step. Wise words but....
          Consider... 'Being' surely carries with it an awareness of what brought us to where we are today. What we were and how we carry the self knowledge that, for us, striving to surmount inner turmoil created by influences/people/parents beyond our control has been a battle courageously fought and won.
          Consider also.... the most courageous of heroes do have flash backs and are temporarily in a bad place...

          You have same hairstyle as that lion.

          • Poetic Dan

            That is and all so natural, thank you for even wiser words.
            Always a pleasure to read
            Much appreciated my friend!

            • Poetic Dan

              Cheers to the next ones my friend

              • Neville

                The DISTANCE between Knowing and Being
                The BATTLE between Knowing and Being
                The GAP between Knowing and Being

                You have already crossed the difficult hurdle of KNOWING, and now you are well on your way to building the BRIDGE to BEING, as so well expressed in your writings.

                  Wow what a beautiful comment
                  I'm sure that's two in a row
                  We both must be building a bridge
                  To a newer world

                  Sincerely appreciated
                  Thank you so much

                  Your strength of character is pulling you through into a wonderful life Dan.

                  • Poetic Dan

                    Like a river of dreams my friend
                    Thank you, always!
