"show you"
Seasons are a fractal,
repeating the same geometry
in ice as it does in leaf.
To 'show' the fall is
to witness collapse;
I would rather you feel
the center of gravity—
the stillness in the marrow
that knows descent is coming
but does not flinch.

Always excellent and polished!
Thanks Katie B. Most appreciative of your time and esteem🙏🕊️
This brings comparisons from different angles, mathematics, seasons, botanical structure, physics, physical reaction to motion. It has a deep philosophical tone in a simple structure much like nature itself and sends a strong message hidden under layers of images. Well done Cryptic a fave
That is a gladdening state of affairs. The poem did as it was intended to. Thank you dear Soren 🙏🕊️
good write my friend, much enjoyed
Many thanks dear friend🙏🏻🕊️
most welcome
This feels like someone standing calm in the face of the drop, refusing to panic even as everything leans downward.
There’s a quiet strength in it—like knowing the fall is part of the pattern and choosing not to run.
Haha almost fatalistic 🙃 thanks my friend 🙏🏻🕊️
Nicely written. Your poem appears to be an invitation to embrace the stillness and acceptance that can accompany life's inevitable changes, rather than merely observing them as external phenomena.
Thank you Friendship; or it’s surrendering to Murphy perhaps 🙏🏻🕊️
Good write A.
Thanks O
First stanza message is astonishingly captured, and rings true to me.
That centre of gravity seems to be where my life is at for now, always anticipating the next cosmic mood swing....
(This too, shall pass.)
Oh, hey FrasMac! There ye be, cobber. Yeah, I get what you’re saying. Thanks for dropping in. Good to ‘see’ you 🙏🏻🕊️
arqios, this is quietly devastating…calm on the surface, but carrying enormous weight underneath. “Descent is coming / but does not flinch” lands hard. Beautiful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️
Just hope it doesn't peddle fatalism; like bring it but without the maudlinity 🙏🕊️
It seems your Season is really Kicking in.
Well Said.
Still 15C and it's midday already, soon the sun will bid farewell. 🙏🕊️
That is the definition of courage.A clever piece.Made me think comrade
We have to take with us a measure of courage. Gracias, amigo 🙏🕊️
I will not flinch in life Rik.
Andy
And that's how it's done! Thanks Andy 🕊️🙏
Fractal. Geometry . Ice.Leaf. Center of gravity. Marrow. Descent. No flinch. You're not showing the fall. You're teaching the physics. Clearly written
Hope the class was satisfactory 🤣🕊️🙏🏻
Very good like this
