Dead Sea

DPW I love the beautiful optimistic ending you are indeed planting green seed in the fertile minds of those who read you..

excellent..

with love Crim

Thank you Crim. That is comforting to hear. Appreciate your read and comment always.

Damn DPW, this one brought a squeeze in my chest.

"Observing the activities around me 
Without the participation"  <---sometimes that is the only solace.

"Yet, this necessary journey 
To detain my impulses 
Down to the white bone" <---great depiction.  Going to hell willingly rather than unleash it it how I read this.  Stark imagery.

The ending leaves us holding our breath in a shared hope.  That one in such obvious distress could wish to seed the soil with green leaf shows  purity of heart, and depth of character.

Well written piece, my friend.  RL add.

It is going to hell willingly without unleashing or acting upon it, for fear the consequences are far greater than ignoring it.

Appreciate the add and comment, Shine. Thank you.

The optimistic ending is my general attitude. I think it was Dante who illustrated well that you have to go through Hell to get to Heaven.

Not my usual genre of poetry, however I absolutely loved this! I read it 3 times and I appreciate the visual it gave me as well. Nicely done my friend. <3

I am glad this appealed to you outside your normal realm. Appreciate the read and comment.

I take this as completing your journey without distraction by impulses, negative or otherwise.

"Observing the activities around me
Without the participation
That my purpled crown is willing
To engage in its comforts"

You watch, learn and maybe enjoy, but are not lulled into complacency.  With understanding comes confidence and hope.  Excellent write DP!  

Crow, yes it would be without distraction of negative kind. When we are faced with a type of inevitability, surrendering to it seems the best option for me. Endure whatever pain associated and get through it. In the process, take advantage of what can be learned to modify any patterns that prevent repetition. Thanks for your insight.

Just....beautiful.  One of my first reads for a while and it astonishes me.  

I always thought of this life as being the portal, the waystation between Heaven and Hell, something we have to learn through in order to advance and ascend. The ultimate uplifting comes after contemplation, meditation and all that awakens from that, even post-mortum. Perhaps everyone's shy a gold piece for Charon's release.

I truly adore this piece & cannot put
my finger on it, must have a dive into
at-least..at-least once more darling..

Shall return unto...
