I am sighing with the wind. this is lovely and soft

hauntingly written dearest Tim the trees know what it says ❤️

One can never cage the wind. Can’t silence it. We can cover our ears but it carries on. That’s strength and resilience there. Unstoppable. Nicely done!

We have been expecting rain all week. We get the dark clouds over head but no wind came.
The wind came today and brought the rain.
It gives you signs and warnings in its own way/voice.
Enjoyed the read!!

Here, three days of high winds, no rain. But 30 mph plus winds. It’s invigorating, except when you’re trying to sleep and stuff is moving around outside. LOL
Exceptional write, Tim. We all can relate, yet you nailed the descriptive nature of it. Excellent.

Tim this is one of my favorites of yours. Love the lyricism here the enchants and closes on a darker theme. You really wrote a poem that sparkles in my mind’s eye as I read. I could feel this in my heart and body as I read. I could see the wind blowing the marsh grass and the scene was quite amazing. You really have the gift with writing imagery that mesmerizes.

AKA zombies. The world is tuning out more and more. Thankfully we all have us here! In a way, writing makes us leaders. Not followers. By the examples of “life” we bring in.
Awesome write, Tim.

This is an amazing poem that depicts with great poetic virtuosity the modern matrix of cell phones and virtual connections that seems to replace the human element in social interaction. Truly artfully crafted poem that is as lyrical as it is mesmerizing.

Powerfully penned, Brandon. Excellent write my friend. We all need that ray of light, I agree. Appreciate you.

Truth! So much said in so few words

Yes, it does. It’s the sunlight after the storm.

I like where this went. Organized religion is a tightrope and shouldn’t be that way. God is within us. Great writing.

Excellent writing Lizz.

I prefer Buddhism myself

Yes. This struggle is internal, not external. Christianity as a kind of perversion of Gnosticism, I’ve encountered this concept more times than I can count ever since I put my tin foil hat on. There is a flavor of that here (Christ as a “spark”….the divine spark) and that caught my eye. Many of us conspiracy kooks have been saying it for years now that the “Anti-Christ” is not a person but the system we’ve been living in (aka “The Beast System”), and I like that you have included that idea here as well. (“It’s the system that blocks what you’ve always seen.”) The main idea behind it is that this place is a people farm, and our energy is being harvested.

Religion has never been a help for me, but Gnostic lore is pretty fire. One thing that IS a more concrete form of guidance on this earthly plane is Stoicism. Practical. Useful. Very real. Ideas that you can actually apply to life. We may need it now more than ever, dealing with them crazy ol’ Archons and their narcissistic idiot Demiurge (the god of the Old Testament)
