It conjures up a recent memory of the Van Gogh immersive experience.
The paintings are beautiful in their own right, but other artists turned it into is own unique blend of animated art, film, music, and visual storytelling.
Thank you kindly, Ricardo! I like that comparison with Van Gogh. I very much believe in the power of art as unity, we're all part of the same expression, all tell the same story! Glad you liked it<3
It's always fascinating reading about why different artists make what they make. In your case, the reliving of memory and paths untaken, which was the sense I initially got from your poem, A Stroll, one of the first of your works that I read. Really goes to show your poetry communicates multitudes, at least in my experience. Keep at it!
Thank you for this thoughtful praise, Ellis! Those are definitely themes I return to often! Kudos to you for catching that, I am very happy that you are able to read into things like that in my writing<3
St. Benedict's Rule: "keep death always before your eyes."
Perhaps poetry is the best medium for this rule!
Oh that's a great angle! Yeah maybe that's sort of what we are doing when we write poetry?
Yeah, I think so to a degree!
Josh always has the best recall of precient quotes. 👏
As someone with a poor memory this really resonated! Keeping memories alive!
Thanks for reading, Andrea! Yeah writing is like a time capsule in that way. Glad you liked the poem<3
Absolutely beauty of a poem.

Your poem encompasses all of it.

I’ve been contemplating very similar ideas lately. Great read.
“To create in order to breathe
the dead air of faded memories
To cleanse the soul
of the very dust you breathe
To believe what
you’ve written”
felt very much like the heart of the poem to me. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment, Nympish! I agree that the part you've highlighted represents the main ideas!<3
Poetry is a glorious way to keep memories alive. Beautifully written, Rasmus!
Thank you, Rea! I agree. Rereading poems is like returning to a state of mind<3
