A timeless write, Rebelious One. Deeply satisfying. "A world of bondage, framed & hung"... perfect.
Peace and Blessings,

an intricately penned write-i enjoy your style very much

My thoughts have reflected since I was in my own mother's womb, that we are not born tabula rasa, into a blank slate...our cognitive mind, I think, develops black sheep or crowd follower, in the womb, we decide what of life's path we will take while we swim in amniotic fluid of the matriarch...I confirm Orc with DNA encoding. Society will try hanging a rebellious child with the conform or die hemp halter...little do the conformists know - this rebellious child has spent quality time in solitude and has carefully meditated and planned out her/his future of outcast enlightenment which sets the precedent for leadership with other points of light, spirit helpers, and kinship links. It is Darwinism - survival of the fittest. Like yourself, Robin, who has defied the hemp halter and traveled to many enlightened platforms of life's venue, a leader we have in you, Robin (Orc) as editor of Poetry Life & Times...it is so very good to see you posting...I have missed your enlightening poetry which is always a mind-challenging journey for me personally into the depths of your far-reaching, expansive mind...I do so appreciate you, Robin...be well...Blessed Be.

Warmly,
Sage
