Hoi hoi
I love it a lot how you care for us. And thank you so much for that.

But am I (being?) out of place when I ask for you to take more time to write goodies for yourself?

Think of the stewardess in a plane. They point out to first put that mask over your face and after that tend to other people.
I honestly believe the stewardess’ filosophy. And I hope that I can convince you to become a believer too. Wink wink.

Please don’t forget yourself.
Warm regards, Gus

I bow to you with gratitude for your tireless dedication to our community, dear Fia!
For many of us writing is an invaluable contribution to maintaining mental balance. Pouring out your heart in a poem or a story brings great relief and satisfaction.
I appreciate very much that you cover all topics with your writing. Literature must not be restricted in its freedom of expression!
Once again, thousands of thanks for all your efforts and your marvelous poetry, my friend!

With gratitude and appreciation, I thank you for all that you do and are, Fia. Fearless and honest, your writing inspires us to share parts of ourselves we might otherwise shove aside, forgotten. Thank you, my friend!

Due to my feral childhood, manners were late being learned. So now I’m a relic from another time who opens doors for people and always says please and thank you. As it applies to writing, I always appreciate it when someone takes the time to read and comment on my work, and will always thank them. Your fine poem is much food for thought, and I embrace every word.

Peace to you Fia. You’ve been the core of this site. Your determination, passion and love for poetry, writing and the community here, does not go unnoticed. Keep up the great work you’ve done here on starsrite.

That’s how I feel. Poetry is our voice. So many people don’t use that voice or give it up. I know it can get discouraging but it can help someone. Also it just feels good to get those feelings out regardless of subject.

Wonderful write.

When I read your musing, a quote of Friedrich Nietzsche was the first thought that came to my mind: “You must have chaos inside to give birth to a dancing star. “It’s exactly the chaos, the self doubts, the questions upon questions, the deep reflections at night which give birth to a dancing star of inspirations writings and deep thoughts. Great work, dear Damian!

This is a good piece of musing, Damian.
This is so true
“Timid people constantly read the room

While they study the human psyche “

Amazing piece Damian. Thank you for sharing 🙏

I think it all comes from being wounded too many times. I identify with this very much.

Wonderfully written Damian. Well said. Keep up the great poetry my friend.

Dude, I’m not timid at all and yet I still read a room! I am extremely observant of my surroundings. It’s a crazy world yaknow!
Your write is a crowd of personalities, interesting in each of their ways. The rhyme makes it flow really well. It’s carrying a beat all its own. Well versed Damian.

hello dearest Damian this is excellent I can relate to the searching and lonliness of not being satisfied with pat answers ❤️

It takes so many approaches and responses to survive these days. And not the least of which is temporary retreat and regroup. How do your pieces always seem so relevant to every moment? Prophet, I’m telling you. Keep assembling the pieces of the puzzle, my friend

There’s a real honesty here in the way you weave survival, wisdom, and self‑doubt into one puzzle feels deeply human. The closing admission about chaos being “demanding” hit especially true.🙏🏻🕊️

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the write my friend. One of my favorite stanzas as well. Thank you for your continued support my friend, right back at ya. Appreciate you.

Damian

Reminds me of the matrix with the red and blue pill. Either face reality or live in fantasy.

Great ink friend.

Damian you formed this into a great poem of rumination. Very much loved the way this unfolded. So much wisdom in your words. Truly great poem my friend.
