We have to take the moments one breath at a time these days, and build our community so strong we hold each other up. They’re doing their best to bring us down. Gotta keep the fires of hope burning 🧡

Brilliantly penned, Willow. Now that’s a bonfire! Excellent lyrics with an amazing musical arrangement. Really liked the drums in this my friend. That third stanza worked as a bridge, I really loved the build to that moment, the bridge brought it all home. It was also the heaviest part of the song with the drums working like exclamation points to your words. When my brother was a drummer in a certain band, I often referred to him as: “The Human Exclamation Point.” Drummers help put emphasis on lyrics in my opinion. Nicely done per usual. Appreciate you.

Drums are the beat we march to. Definitely the punctuation. I think I wanted a strong drum rhythm there to keep the energy building, keep the fire burning and hope going. Thank you, my friend. I’ll be bringing wood as needed to keep it going

This feels like walking alongside the poem itself—hand in hand through both shadow and light. I love how it turns struggle into hope, and hope into a quiet, unshakable victory.

So often we have to transition from one emotion and strength to the next. We’ve just endured one helluva year and we gotta build ourselves up and hold to our community to get through the upcoming days, but we can do it and come out the other side. Thank you, Thomas 🧡

Yes I will walk together with you and in hand, dear Willow, and burn yesterday’s pain to substitute it with new hope which you inspire so brilliantly with this masterpiece!

I think we’re long overdue. And we’ll need another infusion before long, I’m sure. I needed to rest my lungs from screaming. I’m sure I’ll be screaming again in a minute, but right here, right now, we need to build the fire. Thank you, Elke 🧡

Awwwwwwww nice!
This is like sugar for day old coffee, making it tolerable. Like a rare seashell after the bombardment of the ocean’s waves.
Thank you for this treasure of a poem. It’s a gem.-

Gotta keep the fire going. Now more than ever. Thank you, Styxian

Trust me, I wrote the thing and there have been days when I did listen to it on repeat. I’ll be blowing the place up with rants, but I’m keeping this fire going. Thank you, Neville 🧡

A collection of lost pens arrived here. A community was borne of that collective. It takes many stars to light the skies, and many kinds. Happy New Year!

I love how this starts as a simple falling rock and transforms into a star carrying a message. There’s a sweet, gentle wonder in your lines, and I like the way you celebrate all the shades of life while tipping a hat to Stars Rite. It feels heartfelt and luminous—like a small gift to readers.

Cleverly penned, Wally. Excellent write my friend. You had a couple of typo’s:
“Thus, I take up this quill and spill the ink to past the time” I think you mean “pass”
“Bu it’s fitting” this is the other.
Appreciate you

Thanks for the heads up Damian. I’m a little rusty since I’m just getting back to writing.
Always appreciate your feedback sir. Hope you have a great new year! -

The Cailleach’s time of year is indeed a difficult one for many of us, my friend. When the sky refuses to wear that magnetic blue I love, I regrettably find myself “Winter Whining” as well haha. Your writing style and images here are akin to a cheekier Robert Louis Stevenson. Thank you for superbly poetizing your winter woes!

Thank you very much Clay, I appreciate your comment.
The weather in the Central valley of California has been pretty much the same. I can count the number of sunny days from the past 3 months and the morning fog seems to get worse. But either way, it allows me to observe and express this “seasonal depression” which isn’t too bad.
Hope you’re doing well.

Oh boy, do I relate to this one! I would say spring is coming, but there’s 2 things about that…allergies if it does come; and no guarantee it will. We’ve talked our environment to the point that nothing is solid and predictable. I totally get this one
-
![Profile picture of Wally]()
Yeah, the allergies are a pain. I love winter and spring (the summers are too hot where I live) and the spring only lasts for a couple of weeks before the heat takes over.
Thank you for stopping by for a read and do hope you’re doing well.

Same crim. The fog has been really bad lately, I had to drive slower in the morning on the way to work.
Hope all is well.

Dear W,
A very relatable write. I hate having to get up in sections to make sure I don’t injure something in the process. And when did my nose become a faucet?? I wish I’d invested in tissue stock. Great to see you and Happy New Year! H 🌷

Sorry to hear you’ve been sick. This weather can be so difficult for some of us, but I know the California weather doesn’t compare to the harshness everyone has been experiencing everywhere else. Hope you’re feeling better by now.
