left wanting more than I can offer myself this forced camaraderie doesn't improve my vision I block out the entire world for the sake of an eyelash stupefied I stand carrying a bundle of regret all of which can be remedied in the blink of an eye when is too late? what does still standing prove? perhaps I'll topple become the terrain as I crumble smash to pieces, scatter existence is in the moment of collected thought and the end of thinking not whilst haunted by the death of the question coinciding with the will to take it again from the top

Its amazing once again how youv interpreted an artwork and turned it into poetry, one that makes me feel like this artwork was inspired by your words and thoughts , it fits just perfectly! I love the line “ I block out the entire world for the sake of an eyelash stupefied I stand ” literally been there! As i have long lashes and sometimes when that happens its so annoying! And metaphorically too those words speak volumes! A new fave for me! Love this!

Dear DD, For me this was like a breath held way too long almost like standing on the edge of something you’re not sure you want to face, but you can’t look away from either. I felt the rawness to it, a weight in the way you shape these lines, letting them teeter and spill, refusing the comfort of easy resolution. Such a small, fragile thing to frame a moment of blocking everything out. It’s brilliant. Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Cannot see the mountain for the eyelash Dilly, such is life when all around turns to stone, another deeply thought provoking Ekphrasis from you, this niche you have developed on the soup has progressed into professional like interpretations, time to take it again from the top maestro, A fave from me, cheers David

A fave! I'm not crying, it's just a boulder in my eye lol. Thank you, this was a quick write last night after I heard Kevin Costner say something about the death of the question in a programme I wasn't paying attention to. Then Magritte helped me out with the rest. Thank you for such kind words, much appreciated.
