Silence is the strangest thing. I crave it, chase it…& then panic when I bump into it. Sometimes we have to force ourselves to sit still with it. Chaos is more familiar…& therefore sometimes…more comfortable.

Powerfully penned, Brenda. Pulls at these old heartstrings my friend, thanks for sharing. Appreciate you.

Look back but always step forward. This was inspirational, Brenda. Thank you.

I’ve been telling myself the past is not a destination. But it is a guidepost. Despite memory & fear, there’s nothing waiting there. Just an empty space of was-ness. The step forward can be terrifying though

Thank you, Will. It was fun to write.;))

Cleverly penned, Fia. Amazing writing my friend. Appreciate you.

hello beautiful Fia no poetry is not dead it lives inside us beautiful 💕

So long as poet souls live, poetry will never die. How else would there be song?

Everything lives, dies and at times becomes resurrected. Great piece Fia.

This was great… well penned dear poet…

Beautifully penned, Naaj. Loved the message of the write my friend. All cat’s are amazing from domestic to the big cats of which you speak. It is a tragedy corporations want to profit off animals by imprisoning them, and sometimes the animals are treated very poorly. That’s Capitalism for you, they don’t treat people any better. Into the book it belongs! Amazing write. Appreciate you.

As a tree lover myself, I get you Adira. I’m glad you share my sentiments. Thx fur dropping in

I am perpetually in awe of nature. The prey they hunt are no joke, either. It takes serious force & power. These animals are mean & resilient. I work in the wilderness, and there’s been a 350-400 lb eastern black bear male stalking lately, I’ve seen him 4 times in the last six weeks, (with mama and cubs sighted significant distance away)….I am desperate to catch a photo but easier said than done lol

If I saw a tiger I guess it’d be pants-shittin’ time.

I don’t like zoos & circuses either.

The power of their command is felt and yet they are caged to be looked at as if it changes the core of who they are. This is a good piece.

Always appreciate your support and insights, Duende.

Much respect indeed

Naaj
