slope
Patterns in weathered stone
carry the same recursion
found in cloud‑break and thaw.
To speak of erosion
is to misread the work;
better to stand inside
the quiet fulcrum of the ridge,
the dense interior
where the shift is sensed first,
long before the slope gives way.

This goes far deeper than geology my friend this to me speaks of people and the deeper we go the more and less we understand. Here when understood we can see the motivation that leads to behavior long before it occurs.
Thanks, dear friend, indeed it goes deeper. 🙏🕊️
Most welcome my friend
Arqios, there’s a quiet power in this that doesn’t need to announce itself…the sense of change beginning deep within before anything gives way. The focus on that inner point of shift holds the whole piece together. It’s subtle, but it lands. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
And that is the truth with many of life's lessons and shifts. 🙏🕊️
Nice!
Thanks, Katie!
Well done, very creative
Most kind of you to say so, Friendship, thanks 🙏🕊️
A good geological write A - not that I've the foggiest idea of anything cryptic! lol.
Geo-whatsit?! You and me both... hehe. Thanks O🙏🕊️
Tremendous.
Thanks, Thomas.
It's like Never judging anything by it's appearance. A deep Poem that can apply to anything.
Good Write.
Thanks Kevin, multiple applications is very economic and quite productive as well. 🙏🕊️
The mind can see things so further in life than is visible to the naked eye Rik.

Very clever and deep write, learning to understand from our behaviour and mistakes, in order to prevent us heading onto that slippery slope. Something that would benifit us all if we all learnt to do that, pleasure to read
I'm still learning it myself. Thanks kindly, PL 🙏🕊️
