Read MoreMy eyes open, to the imagined. My eyes closed, to the real. My ears open, to hallucinations. My ears closed, to your voice. My mouth open, to ramblings. My mouth closed, to anything sensical. My hand open, once to yours. My hand closed, now to yours.

Das ist ein sehr schönes Gedicht, Daniel! Ich kann mich absolut damit identifizieren.
The use of opposites is the perfect stylistic device to underline the fact that in our dreams and illusions we are most alive! Brilliant!

Emotions can grab us when we’re not ready. Your mother had a lot of wisdom.
Good one, Fia.

Crying is a way for the body to release hormones that calm us down during stressful times.
Next time you cry, pause for a moment and reflect on why you’re crying.I doubt there will be a logical,solid,single reason.
Great write Fia 💋-

I think I envy those who cry. I can’t seem to, and believe it’s not a healthy thing that I can’t. Most likely it was the trauma I suffered as a child that had me crying buckets until there just weren’t any more tears in me. I agree with your attitude about crying now, and believe your mother’s advice to be very wise. This is strong writing that has me thinking much about the subject.

It’s so much more of a powerful expression this way, in my opinion. It means that if you cry it actually means something. Such a beautiful expression of that.

Beautiful. It’s wonderful to have “control”. Not just in whether or not to cry.

I don’t cry many times. My poetry is my emotional release. But the last time I cried is when I lost my dog. When me and my wife got his nose print I just lost it. Don’t remember the last time I cried before then.
Great ink.

Thank you, Nick. I remember putting my dog to sleep. My whole body kept trembling and I did shed a couple of tears then I went numb. Pretty sure I should have gotten counseling for that response.

Oh lordy…have you seen the movie The Holiday? I’m the Jude Law character…a weeper! Happy, sad, excited, confused…I’m a soggy mess. This is an interesting view though, seen from someone else’s perspective. Very nice!

That must be the secret because some people seem to enjoy it a little too much sometimes. But in all seriousness, there are definitely days where it feels like you might as well just embrace it because that’s all there is left to do. Kind of reminds me of some song lyrics from a song I like, “So I made friends with all my demons/ Let ’em sink their teeth in/ Got used to the feeling of letting it go” and a mix of “you either laugh about it or you’ll cry”.

Thanks for the comment and the time it took to write it.
I find sitting still quite pleasant these days.No noise except for the sound of the universe.

How painfully correct you are.. and yet

It always seemed weird to me that in a world full of people most of us feel lonely. Great ink.

Indeed, everything changes. I would suspect, or at least in my own life, the choice to switch what I am perceiving is all interconnected.
