Portland memory vessel, 19th century Wedgwood jasper ware - Bouke de Vries
Introduction
Just a sad poem I had to get out of my system, and I love the amazing work of Bouk De Vries, a wonderful artist.
The music is "I Fall To Pieces" by Aaron Neville
Life In Pieces

I Can't Find The Words

Nothing like a good purge every now and then. Nicely done, Mike
A poem for my favorite & self-defining word: evanesce! Painfully, tragically & personally meaningful & beautiful, Mike.
So simple and sad, but also relatable when we have moments of loneliness. Great job capturing the emotion in such a short poem, Mike. Sometimes it feels good to get those ugly thoughts onto the page. It's important to acknowledge that others may feel this way and hope they feel seen through the words.
So emotional and good job.
Feels good to purge these feelings. Gotta watch doing so on here; ppl take you for reals.
Such a sad poem, but well written
I too relate to this. Chin up it will get easier βοΈπππππ
I know too well how it feels sometimes, Mike. We're sounding boards. Just buzz.
So none of us here on Vocal are your friends? It's a shame you feel that way because many of us indeed are your friends, some closer than the others. You know you could always reach out to any one of us. Sending you lots of love and hugs β€οΈ
