This years hot summer came with major challenges for me. But the arrival of autumn and cooler temperatures was a great relief!
I hope you are also fine, creative and in high spirits!
Warmly,

It’s about damn time you posted again! And the wait has been worth it, with your high quality gems.
– I was going to post something involving trees/leaves tonight actually, but there’s a glitch in posting currently, It has to wait.
But we have your wonderful poem to inspire us, and it does. I love the calm of this “ending” towards life. It brings a peace of mind that life has been rewarding. It is a soothing tone. What a great approach.
wonderful write, Elke.-

This is so beautiful. You captured that moment and made me feel the loss but then the beauty of life. They existed.

You are asking a 14 year old boy such difficult questions…. Remember I wrote this when I was merely 14… after so many years I still do not have an answer

A bit towards the apocalypse in its foretelling, yeah? I also get a “War Pigs” vibe as well (Black Sabbath).
Excellent rhyme scheme as well. Great write Damian.-

Wow, one more of your excellent, intense and thought provoking right things, dear Damien! Especially the last verse speaks to me a lot. World most people consider God as all seeing eye that is watching and judging us, all sing that UI energy is just experiencing itself, manifested and the form of a human being. So it is entirely up to us what to do with our lives. Personally, I think it is best to listen to our heart and to our intuition. Why won’t lead us a stray.
