I enjoy fables, folk tales, fantasy and the like, and so I enjoyed this quite a lot. I wish this dervish could visit all around the world and teach people to behave better.

Yes you are right, Sam! The earth could be a wonderful place, if we worked together and took good care of one another and the whole planet.
Thank you very much for reading and commenting!

Yes. The good things about you should never be the things that you are used or abused for. I love how you still are all of the things that you were before, you’re just not allowing anyone else to have control over it.

You should speak up. Never suppress what you want to say.

You are absolutely right! We should always speak our truth. Non-violently but without holding back! Thanks, Angels! Love and light!

I love everything about this poem. It’s plane to me that your passion is unequaled and unequivocal.
I dream, lovingly, of dancing with you under the moon, long hair flowing and both of us in purple wispy silks.-

Thank you so much for your awesome comment, Jim! In our fantasy we can do anything we want. And the best thing is that our fantasy inspires our reality and our reality also inspires our fantasy. Love and light to you, my friend!

My pleasure, (so to speak), Elke.
I noticed that wrote. “plane rather than plain”. oops! 🙂
I love your take on the topic; fantasy reality.
My thoughts are starting to have a very fulfilling time as I write here, so ~ Thanks!

I can relate. I was also a people pleaser before I stood up for myself.

I was never a people pleaser and probably never will be. The only ones I have respect and love for are the few that give the same to me in return. The rest can go fuck themselves! I love this bold write. You stand tall, showing your strength and determination. A marvelous and powerful piece. xox

A friend once told me “Not everyone deserves your soft.” I am who I am, but they have to prove they deserve the best of me now. I’ll always move with compassion, but if we don’t take care of ourselves…who will? I burnt my filters too. Totally feeling this one!

Thank you, dear Willow, for sharing your personal experiences. We can only give to others what we have given to ourselves first. Self-care and self-compassion are the best preconditions to be kind and helpful towards others.

This is sweet and insightful. If only people could see the reflection in the mirror. Do onto others as you would like them to do onto you. (I remember some school teaching)
