this is beautiful… but sad.. well, mainly beautiful… well done

I love the use of the Sun and Moon. As I see the Sun as male and Moon female and the Sky as two hands clasp together in a cushioned security. As they come together life begins in warmth. Then as they part you get a sense it is not ending just a new longing.
I enjoyed this.

shit…this is gorgeous. sky. sun. moon. fate. all narrowed down to that one word…longin. hits ya right in the gut.

Beautifully penned, Rascal. You’re a gifted writer my friend, and your passion to teach is an excellent attribute. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

It’s always a pleasure not only to read your master poetry but to enjoy your original forms also, to begin with the photo how it fits perfectly the ambiance, it’s alive and the breaking and sadness are felt from it, and again your life wisdom shines through your words, the turn at the end is sudden, I think this is how a heart breaks, sudden with no expectations, and that’s what your poem worded and shaped, for me this could turn into a beautiful sonnet considering the theme, the unfolding events of and the sudden change.

Powerfully penned, Nick. It’s not crying wolf my friend. Creativity is cycles and a huge fucking circle that spins like a merry go round brother. When I was a younger version of me I thought about quitting everyday. It doesn’t happen everyday anymore, but the thought will linger from time to time. Sometimes we all have to take a break and find the next path that hasn’t been traveled yet. I call it being stuck between chapters, actually I just made that up. lol. And right on cue the writer in my head is always there. All I’m basically saying is don’t be so hard on yourself my friend. It happens to us all, it’s the one experience we’ve all shared in our creative journey. I think you’re an incredible writer who just needs to reset. Stop thinking about writing completely for a little bit, believe me the itch always returns. Hang in there Nick. Best wishes brother, I’ll see you further down the road. Appreciate you.

Our good friend, Damian, is absolutely correct. Be gentle with yourself, let it all go for a while and fill up your reserves. Everything, especially creativity, goes through periods of ebb and flow. Perhaps like a great and deadly thunderstorm your next poetic wallop of a write just needs time to build.

Keep the ink wet, my friend!

I can say with certainty, you made yourself felt in your words. Your love, your passion, your compassion. It’s all there in your writing. I’ve felt your good spirit in it all. I’ve shut down a time or two, thinking it was done. If hitting pause is needed, we’re all still here to greet you with hugs if you return. And if you don’t, you made a lasting impact, my friend. Take a beat, take a breath and follow your star
