The lives I didn’t have

Love the scenery and the thoughts. Maybe we do live multiple/alternative lives, but we are not conscious of it on this level ...

I sent a comment. It didn't show up, at least I don't see it.

And yes, my friend....

this is more than
what is first seen


deep is this well,
and thankful I am
that you wrote it.

It will definitely have
me thinking for days.

Well done, Sir.

Do get the homonym (morning-mournng) if that is what you mean... Well, I am a societal loser almost by definition, and yet somehow mist beyond the trees is comforting, even exciting to me at times. (Perhaps the phrase is "emotionally invigorating" ?)

A fine poem, imho. The imagery and sentiment are keen indeed. Must say, though, that the more mystery and injustice experienced, the more I believe this world is some kind of mere audition for us.
