I never thought of my space being owned by others, It's a smart way of expressing the way the outside world invades our inner peace. the use of cloying is pretty accurate too. This is a well thought out piece.

Lovely aura in a scene so beautiful your poetic ambiance.

Lady Mary Ann

Thank you for the new vocabulary word for me: cloying = something originally good becoming tainted by excess. I like how you have the 'cloying spirits' flowing, not unnoticed, but viewed from the perspective of assured calmness. For me, this could be a treasure of a decompressive mantra. Thank you! ~~ Diana

Nice photo, lovely words and expressions; you certainly have validated yourself in this strong poem!

Oddly, that is similar to what I tell my kids...face adversity, not only because you must to have a true life, but because there is nothing like knowing you are strong to make you feel confident and have good self esteem. Proving just what you are made of to yourself, and taking time to notice and enjoy the credit. Great work. Be well, Kathy

very thoughtful piece Vivian
budd

a nice mixture of meaning carrying the elemental into the ethereal here, with "space", "spirits" and "aura" releasing the purport and "reverberate" tuning the essential ingredients to a validated key...

Nicely penned indeed, dear Vivian...
Roger

Ah, getting adversity to rejoice to reverberate is a special occasion for the quiet moments for sure, Vivian.
