I think it's the double twist (gently / loved one) that just keeps transforming what he's doing here and how we understand the notion of carpe diem right until the very end. Genius, I agree!
I liked your poem. My wife and I have been together for 45 years -- living, working, sharing in unity, growing old together. Your poem brought back memories of picking broccoli that was frozen crisp in the September snow of Alaska.
My wife and I are married for fifty years with a garden of children and grandchildren, and books, and music, and good friends and the blessings of the moment and each day.
Thank you so much. Such a beautiful reminder of the preciousness of the solitude and silence of companionship that was forged deep within the nuptial passion of youth.
Thanks for that word ‘’bow.’’ I was grasping for the perfect one to describe my love for Jim, thinking (of writing) an ‘’ode.’’ But ‘’bow’’ is truly it!
That final line!
I will steal that!! :))
🙌
How does it do that? Genius

Was a lovely pink Sunrise this morning - each one never the same as the last.

This is really beautiful and riveting. Warmth in the cold - seize the night.
That's a fucking beaut!
Simply wonderful. Like the crisp air at waking we’ve got everything needed to be grateful.
The last line sums up this poem perfectly. Seize the day just as you seize the love within it.
Stunning! Thank you …..
Grateful for these words
My life flashing before me. Beautiful.
Ahhh, seize the day gently…..molto buono
