“This poem is not the words.
It is the world, the feeling,
these words point to.”

so true
Thanks, Norman; greatly appreciated 🕊️🙏🏻
most welcome
🙏🏻🤩🕊️
This seems a compelling truth where words are merely the tool by which poetic feeling can be expressed a type of projector of the image. Nicely said my friend
Words like tubes of paint brushed onto palette pages, thanks dear Soren 🎨
You are most welcome my dear friend
🕊️🙏🏻🤩
“If you focus on one leaf you can miss an entire forest”
Oh, even better! Like missing the forest for the tree, or something like that! 🕊️🙏🏻
And that should be the way of it every time. Please take this as enthusiastic endorsement.
Inverted commas? A quotation?
More like trying to be read as if it were italicised. Took the licence too far, I guess🙃
Well said
Thanks Friendship 🕊️🙏🏻
arqios, this is all about that restraint…saying just enough, then letting it open on its own. That final turn really stayed with me…you trust it, and it works. I’ve chased that kind of balance myself. This lands clean and strong. Powerful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Like a gymnast landing solidly after their routine, I hope. 🕊️🙏🏻
Good write A.
Ah, thanks, O
A fave. Huge fan of brevity!
As am I. But apparently many folks are Gaining endurance and taste for more filled out poems. I’m still of two minds about that. Thanks, Katie B 🙏🏻🕊️
When you read a Poem that Produces a Strong feeling: It's something else.
Good Write.
Most agreed, Kevin 🙏🕊️
Now what was Bruce Lee saying about the "finger pointing at the moon"?!
We "concentrate on the finger that we all miss the heavenly glory" 🙏🕊️
You know the line well, Arqios!
Was it ‘miss all’ or ‘all miss’? Cross wiring with age, he he🕊️🙏🏻
"....you'll miss all that Heavenly glory." Sums up this technological era that is being taken to an extreme?
way to extreme... still reeling and no signs of stopping.... 🕊️🙏
It`s not gonna stop, is it? Which means a "reset" is inevitable, just like certain Hopi`s, Nordics et al have been telling us?!
Yup... never thought it would be in our generation though. It still could be by the skin of the next, but the window is closing too rapidly for complaisance 🕊️🙏
According to more than one researcher/teacher, around the end of the 3rd decade and into the fourth. (Exact dates have been given. Ain`t that something?!) Well, time will tell. Anyways, I`ve felt it in my bones ever since I was a kid.
Same here, before words could properly express🙏🏻🕊️
👍💯
Feelings can overcome so many bad things in life Rik.
