Thank you so much, Ghosteen. I’m glad the poem gave you that sense of ambivalence; that’s exactly what I was hoping to convey. You have a beautiful way with words, and I truly appreciate your insight.

A surrealistic journey of assurance and faith. I like it.

Thank you, Tim. I can’t think of a better way to put it. “A surrealistic journey of assurance and faith” truly captures the feeling I had when I wrote it. I’m glad that came through.

Dearest Crimsin,
Thank you. That’s very kind of you to say. I do feel the message in this dream so strongly. It brought a lot of comfort, especially since it touched on something that had been troubling me for a while.It’s a powerful feeling to know there’s a force or even a divine intervention that will be our advocate, even if we’re not there to witness it.

Thank you so much, Jim. “Sweet Sisters” means everything, as the poem is indeed rooted in the unseen bonds and protective love between us.
I’m truly happy to hear it resonates with so many readers. I think at its core, the message of trusting your inner-light is something we all need to carry. I appreciate your kind words! -

Trippy, peaceful, cosmic. A magical journey here. Nicely executed.

I appreciate that! This poem began as a strange, trippy dream that stuck with me, so I’m glad it translated into a magical journey for you. It was a release to write it, and I ultimately found meaning and comfort in it -a message about trusting our inner-light and finding peace.

The imagery of drowning in a smile and being a thousand kisses deep perfectly captures the feeling of being completely swept away by someone. Great write.

Hi Tim! I never really thanked you for being the first to tell me about “Stars Rite”. I checked it out because of you and Sam. I’ll always remember the kindness. Thank you!

My pleasure, Kelly. My time at WC is basically over so it’s good to see you and other friends from there on here. If I pop in to WC it’s probably to grab a few poems. 🙂

Charlie was there yesterday. The “online writer’s” feature had his face in the place. Lol, I guess he gave it a reboot, because it’s all up and running again. You should go back and get while the getting is good!

this reads like a melody of passion I can feel it ❤️

Passion is the one thing this world could use a little more of. I try to compose it into as much of my poetry as I can. Thank you for acknowledging that…and nice to meet you!

Thank you so much, Fia. I was surprised to find you’ve been a writer at the WC for some time, that our paths have never crossed till now. I find it comforting to know, as a moderator yourself, that you are also a poet, and fully understand the significance of having such a venue like this to call home. My poetry is my haven, my passion in life. Thank you for giving me a safe place to land.

I like the analogy of no future plant bears parents’ ashes. Until far into the future, in generations to come.

A sad, sad core but finely laid language, sir. As a garden designer, etc. I speed to such poems, but think this is the first about sunflowers in the past recent years – so sad to read of their casually tossed passing. That said, they are flung into death – but could have created even more if kept and used. Their tale might have begun a masterpiece had they and your words continued. Along with Fia, would add that not only is the analogy on form, your work has style to the brim. Many thanks for sharing.

Yikes. The ambivalence of this is where good literature should lead one. Your typing fingers fall as effortlessly as snow onto the keyboard.
