A Peaceful Greed

They tripped along the page well.

I love this self-awareness journey. The reflective nature of this piece, that you are chained and bound by the anger, rage, and other seeping bullshit so tightly that to open your arms reminds you that you don't need any of it. That you need peace.

That's really fucking good.

As always, you are the queen of using nature metaphors to show different aspects of the human condition and I have mad respect for that.

Hi Betty. You totally got me here.
And your comments were so nice, made me cry.
Just cause I'm struggling to fling my arms out in peace.
I really appreciate your thoughts! ❤️

Your beauty & the tranquility of this piece shines. Wonderful in every aspect. Great visual as well.

Aww. Thank you very much.
I write these types of poems to keep myself positive.
It's so nice to hear great feedback. I appreciate!

tha final line is gold

Why thank you very much.
Imagine if everyone had a greed for peace.

Thx for checking out, have a great day!

Nice line breaks in this…

Thank you, sometimes that's not my strong suit, so that's nice to hear.

Love your profile pic!

Greed is terrible in all its forms except this one… beautiful poem

I know. I like to pair the word greed with peace. We need a new revolution.
Thank you kindly for lovely comment. 🤗

I love the message of this poem.  
If yesterday was calm before the storm, then this is the peace that's coming after the storm it feels...

I hope you find that peace, something I wish to find everyday within too.

Thank you! Trying to harness some inner peace.

May you find many peaceful moments in your day!

Very beautiful jumbled thoughts.

Love this:

the soul's deep cage."

Thanks so much for nice comments!
I really appreciate. ❤️

There is a raw, ragged...almost feral tone to the start of this...then the release...& a sense of peace. Beautifully written!

That's so nice to hear. Thank you. That was my intention.

Well-balanced semantical dichotomy at that end - the definition of greed to be taken as a modest reform of living with it inevitably.  Again, precise, metaphorical language keeps me on track to discover other realms of feelings and emotions that aren't necessarily linear to what you write, but with an additional emotion underneath the connections of your poem, in your attitude to convey.  Bravo.  Thanks for sharing!

Wow, that sounded really complex. I like it!
Thank you so much!

So well written!

Thanks so much!
Have a nice night
