Shall We Dance

A extra star for brilliant artwork as well (not really, your poem is also exceptional!) I like the succinct wisdom in your Author's Notes as well. We are analysed in our weaknesses, by each other, judged, pronounced ... wanting, labelled, and their pronouncement seals our human fate. We all have just those few moments of life between birth and death - so little in view of eternity. We are insignificant - and yet, are we not all tiny parts of a much bigger plan?

Wonderful interpretation.
Yes, I do truly believe we
are all eternal. Tiny cogs
in the intricate wheels of all
that time turns.
Thank you so much,
Doug

The lifelong dance is far too short and we are soon in our graves and embedded in history with all the other souls who have gone before, a poignant write, love Dolly x

I have read and re-read this and I find it full of depth and intrique. I like that it makes the reader think evaluate and consider. Well done and the artwork as well.

Comment from Goodadvicechan
I like the opening which attracts you to read on : " Hello,
my ghosts. Are you there?" This is a skillful way to draw readers attention. All readers would like to see what happens next.
I have some doubts as the the meaning of this paragraph: "The fate
of all men is the grave," Is this true? Perhaps they carry their fate to their grave.
I enjoy the poem.
Thank yuo for sharing,

Are we all not all fated for the grave?
Comment from Tasuke
Melancholic but honest; from the skeletons in our closet to the preference to immediate gratification and sensory satisfaction; confident diagnoses and swift dismissal of they which are to be our informants.
Acceptance of impermanence; in that we agree. None escape their appointment with the black reaper.
"Every man is broken eventually" is quite a resonating line as well.
Well done.

I, absolutely, thank you.
For an open mind, for
due diligence, for resonating
when it is easier not to.

Compelling and thought-provoking--startling imagery--does this pertain to mental illness diagnosis or addiction--both?--sugg: translation of German in note--what's up with Argentina?
