Hello Mel,

As i read this poem I felt that each stanza was pacing towards the immense intensities of the final closure. Many things could be said about this write but I will just say I felt the journey, greetings and blessings,

Dear Rianne,

Thank you so much for your response.  Yes, I am definitely on a journey. I appreciate you taking the time to read.

Dear M,

The timing of the write for me is impeccable. I’ve been in such a state of retreat and hiding the first and last stanzas of this piece were so relatable.  This poem had me thinking how mundane and unseen as well as unable to break the cycle of these feelings. The rhythm and rhyming aspect of this write is excellent. It moves at a great meter yet lets the reader feel the words and message.

Dear H,

I know that retreat. Sending hugs. As Rianne said it is a journey.  Sometimes it is figuring out how to go back to basics and remember who we are. Thank you as always for your kind remarks. Wishing you well.

Bless

Briefly spoken, strongly expressed!
Stay safe Mel44.

Dear pd,

Beautiful piece. Not much of an analyst lol. But the poem flows and there’s a story of being lost and directionless. But it’s told in such an attractive way like I want to be lost in the message of this short though potent poem.

Dear Daniel,

Thank you. Lost without direction indeed. I think your "analysis" is spot on:) I appreciate the read and your kind words.

Bless,
Mel

Hi Mel,

I recognise your words... I often get lost in the Mundane too, oh for a map, eh!?
You are capturing something we all feel from time to time.

I think the most powerful line here is "nor desire for flight", representing an acceptance of where one is despite being uncomfortable. The only thing that drives out darkness is light - and we are light; therefore, when we sit long enough with our own darkness, we drive it out.
