Powerful work. Tremendous.

“We clone our fears
Copy-paste the pain
Pouring out the doubts like drops of rain
Lessened by the scars we quietly bear
Weakened by the reasoning we wouldn’t dare”

Powerfully penned, Drieks. Excellent lyrics my friend, that verse I quoted, is so raw and authentic. Amazing arrangement that enhances these amazing words. I’m a fan. Appreciate you.

The lyrics and voice breathe in that space between hope and desolation, where very few are self-aware enough to tread. A glittered gift you possess. May I ask of your music influences? Without music the world dies.

This song hits me differently when I feel so tired and head is pounding from the beginnings of a migraine. Its like I can feel
this line “Oh the shadows speak when the lights go dim, Invisible projections crawl from within”
This is a great write

Tremendous. Vulnerable and real. Powerful writing.

The poem was written with compassion and I felt it .

Thank you for posting this.
My grandpa was a WWII Army veteran so this hits home.

Tim, this really took me into Elsie’s heart and what she meant to our wounded men. I could feel the emotions here and the depth of your remembrance for her and the men she gave solace in their darkest hours. Truly a great poem.

Thank you for posting this:)

Fia, the river of your compassion for our soldiers flowed like deep channel of understanding and empathy here. This also flowed beautifully as a poem. I could feel the emotions you evoked with this poem. This is truly a poem of remembrance and understanding for people who sadly are left behind long after the battle is over because their battle continues long after the war is over.

Beautifully penned, Fia. Excellent tribute piece my friend. Appreciate you, cuz.

Damian

Your brilliant poem shines with empathy, respect and understanding. Sadly, history repeats itself again and again. How many reminders like your heart touching and thought provoking poem will be needed until humankind learns to solve conflicts non-violently? Peace my friend!

Chère F.,
What an exceptional write!
And before we point the finger of blame (if this is English) it is good to know that every country made their own mistakes at one time or another.
And as Goldenmyst says: the battle continues long after the war is over.

What an immense victory of talent (yours) over matter.

Warm regards, Gus

Fantastic tribute. Well said.

It seems all these years later, we are still hearing the reverberation of the lyrics to John Lennon’s song, “Imagine”. Living life in peace. When will it ever be?
