Notice of absence from L. B. Mek
'fare ye well' kind friends
'fare ye well' kind friends
If you ask where we’ll reach out
If you ask - who - we’ll find you
If you ask when we can begin!
Let those bystanders
fear
Tomorrow’s daunting gaze
you, my friend - live - unchained, from regret
breath to blink
and
step to year,
feel
your
strain
loosening
from deep within
choose to survive
become
someone’s: helping hand
shoulder to shoulder - trusting - in each other...

Shoulder to shoulder
Side by side
No higher or lower
Your spirit will help bring us together!!
there's no I or You in that 'We': yearned for so desperately dear Poet, just little old 'Us' with our blinkered naivety... lol
really appreciate your encouraging response, I feel the depth of your good intentions and this surge of equity's empowering self-confidence you're emoting: I will utilise it as wisely as I can my friend, thank you!
there's no I or You in that 'We': yearned for so desperately... There you go again with that pure inspirational poerty...
Interesting format which delivers impact
yeah, I liked the words but they seem too simplistic to engage people and so I ended up playing around with format and layout, I was attempting to follow the beat of the sos morse code in each section, hopefully it can be refined better in the future,
thanks for noting and highlighting that aspect Michael
Encouraging and uplifting
wonderful response, all I could have asked for!
thanks for taking the time Dusk
Happy New Year dear Poet
I certainly choose to survive and become someone's helping hand.
Andy
Amen!
on-and-on: may your ripples multiply...
I for one, may be counted as a bona fide benefactor my friend,
as ever, thanks for the encouraging support Andy
no man is an island .. together we stand ...
Amen! my wise friend
(only we few remaining humanist's gota fight our inherited 'chauvinistic' tendencies and help our sister's fight for equality at each given opportunity, by choosing words like 'human' to correct the disparity in old wise 'sayings', however 'humane' their meaning)
A fine piece of advice on how to stand upright L.B. - - shoulder to shoulder is the best way and thank you for the reminder my friend.
indeed, that may be at the core of my scribble, I think
just 'passing-on' hints that were instilled in me and I found useful - in helping add a tint of hope, to that chaotic prism of despair: colouring our realities, so bleak...
thank you for your brilliantly insightful comment dear Fay, you've managed to encapsulate my write - while imbuing more meaning than even I had originally grasped, lol
I felt a message in these sincere lines, is about to say: hugging others' wounds could make our wounds heal faster, and the illusionary borders between all of us, would disappear instantly.
I agree, even if not in deed - directly, certainly by the empathetic nature that such ideal sentiment's: mine from within,
thank you for your encouraging comment, glad you enjoyed the read
A most wonderful message of brotherhood and unity. The format was most interesting adding a free flow of will not force. It is a plea, a call not a mandate that must come from within each of us. A desire to reach out and help others. Very refreshing in these days of "me"
ah, one of my rare 'actual poem's' lol
yes, 'self-involved'
is becoming the norm, one of capitalism's
most toxic legacies..
hope you had fun reading this one
was a lot of fun writing it
how kind, dear cherished Poet
thank you!
