Powerfully penned, Willow. Excellent lyrics my friend. Really dig the musical accompaniment. I heard gospel and r&b elements maybe a touch of Motown. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

Not everything comes shiny and new for Christmas but its the effort that counts
Unfortunately, when tragedy happens it doesn’t care what day it is.
I hope you and your family had a great Christmas Day:). Always focus on the positive here and now chica:)
They carry us through the hard times.Merry Christmas 🎄

Dear W,
Beautiful, heart felt, heartache, touchingly gorgeous I could go on. Every word so poignant and meaningful you’ve painted a word picture that has touched me beyond measure. Beautiful write. H🌷

I live a dual awareness, I think. Because I’m so familiar with the shadows, I’m aware that others might be struggling even while I’m thriving. I was there once. And could be again one day. I honor those memories and those souls as best I can. My experiences helped me raise a daughter more aware and giving than she might have been in other circumstances. We believe strongly in giving back and paying it forward. Thank you, Honoria…it’s good to see you roaming the halls

This poem honors the truth many people carry through the holidays—the quiet grief, the missing chairs, the love that survives scarcity. It’s honest without bitterness, and that makes it powerful.

Perhaps! The best poem that I have read on Stars. I am not very good with comments, but this one grabbed my soul, Lady! This one deserves an award.

PS. Keep in touch.

Powerfully penned, Willow & Mary. I love the guitar riff in this, and have got to ask what was that? A cello or violin at the beginning and end with a distorted effect on it. Whoever made that call, that was pretty cool. Nice collaboration you two. Appreciate you, both.

I love abandoned buildings and urbex, places that have personality & soul. It really makes you think about all the stories and feelings that haunt those rooms long settled into stillness and the quiet noise of slow decay, so much like those old folks now mostly forgotten.

Powerfully penned, Willow. Excellent write my friend, your choice in accompaniment fit your words nicely. You have an ear for it in fact. Nicely done as always. I dig this a lot. Appreciate you.

Willow, I hardly know what to say. It is a great honor to have something named for me. I am doubly pleased that it is a decaying old thing which — no, this is not an insult!– that it creaks, with unspoken stories and strangely unseen secrets; the wind does whistle through my cracked windows, my friend, and curiosity still burns with undying heat. another story is always waiting. Yes, you couldn’t have painted a better picture of me with a camera. Thank you for this lovely, lovely gift!

hello beautiful Willow for let me say this is a powerful message with a great flow I am also sad about these things I don’t know what the answer is…I hate how people are treated I have skin ailment and can’t even get a refferal to a dermatologist because my primary says so… I hate how animals are treated it all makes me ill… what counts as compassion in this life it’s like a very painful soul ache to look around and think how can I change it… great write ❤️

Now this has me agreeing with it. What happened to save the trees, polar ice caps, the aquatic life, or us, damn it?

Powerfully penned, Willow. Into the book it belongs! Excellent write with a message that needs to be heard, which in fact should be screamed from the rafters in every corner of the world. Amazing work per usual. This is next level good. Appreciate you.

Wow! What a powerful message, screamed at the whole humankind, especially at those who still believe that no damage towards the planet and our fellow humans had been done. I haven’t heard such an impressive and sadly urgently needed wake up call since a long time! Brilliant work, dear Willow!
-
I think what makes me saddest is that most of them actually know what’s being done. They just don’t care because it would affect their wallets and money is more important to them than compassion. There are a lot of us screaming, they’re not listening. They just hit mute or change the channel. Thank you, Elke 🧡

FUCK YEAH! Oh, fuck fuck fuck fucking Yeah, Willow. You need a big FUCK! for all of them, Willow. But there just aren’t enough fucks for all the FUCKS in the world ’cause they keep making more FUCKS who keep fucking things up! So FUCK THOSE FUCKING FUCKS!
Fucking right!
niceaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand said with love

Yeah, that word has become a constant from me lately. I wrote this one after unsettling personal news and then spent the next 15 minutes just repeating fuck. What they’re doing – while it inspires some powerful poetry and protests – is beneath contemptible. They don’t stop either. I don’t believe I will live long enough to see the damage done just in this one year reversed. I’m not sure my daughter will even live to see that day. It’s unbelievable. Selfish, racist, sexist fucks. Thank you so much for feeling this as I did 🧡

Chère W.,
Your list and mine are almost identical.
At least my family didn’t tell me to shut up, but the in laws did.My car’s a vegan car. And many more people will follow as soon as it dawns on them that there is money to be made in doing the right things for a change.
All my thumbs and kudos for you.Yes, please also listen to Sappho/Elke’s Point of no return in audio and podcasts or some such thing. You’ll find your way, don’t rely entirely on the words of a dyslect.
Warm waives and regards, Gus

I’m with you on every point. Someway, somehow, the good, honest, and caring of this world must overcome the evil wave that now confronts us.
