Yes.. this is the message I needed today. Thank you, Fia. I will remember during other times of pressure as well.

Words of wisdom and empowerment. Excellent!

Oh girl, you stirred up some inspiration with this one! When the joy in the doing gives out, put down the pen until it comes again. This is the kind of message needed these days.

And with each new day, creative opportunity is always promised…for the taking if so inclined. If we were machines, the concepts of emotion and feeling would be obsolete. Without those, there is no expression.

hello veautiful Fia I used to get choked up because I though everything I wrote had to be great then later I realized I wasn’t blocked I was in my own way… this is very encouraging ❤️

Powerful piece & message Fia. Outstanding!!

Powerfully penned, Fia. Into the book it belongs! Outstanding write my friend. Every writer can relate to this one, we’ve all been there, it’s part of the journey I believe. Nicely done. Appreciate you, Cuz.

Sage words indeed .. and a keeper for sure .. Neville 😎🌻👍

Damn the skull is an empty chalice waiting to be filled. This is so deep with hints of darkness all through it. Nicely done

Thank you, Keith.

“April 7th brings the other kind:
the sharp, unsentimental forgiveness
that strips you bare,
that names your mistakes
without flinching,
that empties your skull
so something truer
can echo inside it.”

Powerfully penned, PAR. Into the book it belongs! What an amazing write with a flow the moves like the wind my friend. So many excellent stanzas brother, but the one above hits like a freight train. I can relate. Excellent read. Appreciate you.

“they distort sex, drugs, and even God” That is 100%. Good piece

I sometimes wonder if you realize in the writing how prophetic and on point your observations are. We had more than an inkling at the time of inking, but who could have predicted how awful it would get? And they’re not done yet. This is a beast of a powerhouse, my friend

Interesting in how such a write could be penned in the 1960s, til now. It’s a never ending cycle of promises and BS, with military interventions along the way. We the people just try to eek out a decent life, as unscathed as possible.
Intuitive write, sir. Prophetic.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It would make great lyrics, you never know with me, it could end up going down that way. Appreciate you, brother.

Some things just have to be said out loud and wrapped in poetry .. it’s too hard to write them in stone .. Nice one Damian

Hey amigo. Everything is so unstable and messed up. I’m just trying to get through my day feeling like a decent person. It’s all too much. And I feel it in this write. Well done

This reminds me of the book 1984. They’re changing history through numerous means and we’re all suffering under it. Good one, Damian.
