"Wearing a face that only appears brave
Underneath it stirs a torment more severe" > these lines stood out for me.

We shouldn't judge a book by the cover. Superb piece, Damian, I appreciate you.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Duende. I loved those lines as well, you're pretty good at picking out my favorite lines. You've did it more than once. Glad you connected with the write. Appreciate you.

Strong write with a profound message. We're in for some hard times, I'm afraid some are going to suffer more than others. The veil won't be lifted for many, until it's too late.

Thank you for sharing.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Wally. Glad you liked the write. Unfortunately, I agree with you completely. Appreciate you.

Dear DL,

For me, The rumblings of waiting for a shoe to drop feel ever present in this piece. I really appreciated how your reader can divine feelings of unrest in the poem yet the photo tempers it with calming beauty. Dragonbloods observation of a metaphor is succinctly put. Still waters run deep and beauty can deceive. Super write. H🌷

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, H. Glad you enjoyed the write. You are both on point. That was my intention. Also the Lennon quote was very intentional as well. Always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.

Very good write. The grass may look greener with synthetic fertilizers, but always choose the natural mulch if you know where to find it.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, ASD. Glad you liked it. Appreciate you.

I read this...& then read it again...twice. I'm coming to grips with a new tomorrow that will definitely not be favorable to the majority to all the people I love. Those lines about fear turning voices silent...I saw a quote that said "I'm healing out loud because I nearly died in silence." It seems to me when fear is highest, more voices need to make sound. Can they drown out the combined strength of a crowd? Just thoughts...

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. I agree totally, it's the not knowing what to expect that messes with me. Dig your thoughts on the subject. I concur with your analysis. Appreciate you.
