Both matters and mind so accurately described and one is the mirror image of the other.sun fading and you must have seen my doubtfuleyes - that is, mind fading.
The age old dilemma: Is it better to tell someone something they may not want to hear? OR Is it better to leave things left unsaid? Your succinct philosophical poem gives us food for thought. Thank you for being so open and honest. An excellent write, Barry! !
I have never listed the principles that I believe are prerequisite to poetry but first and foremost would be emotional honesty. Thanks Richard for the spot on comment.
a wonderful poem that applies to us all? everybody if honest has some regrets in their life! ............superbly written Barry.
I love how you did not overstate your point, allowing the succinctness of the work to reinforce its own meaning. Very nice work.
Full of wisdom. Great write that speaks to the heart and every reader finds in it their own voice.10

Yes while parting ways such feelings are very normal yet we live our lives...on and on...10
Life is a long journey and we go through a variety of experiences. There are times when we rejoice and at times we do have regrets due to whatever reasons. Nicely conceptualised. Thanks. there are those things yet better left unsaid I could not find the words
Regret is a very painful experience but we must try and come to terms with lost opportunities, lost lovers and lost time. To live in the present is to accept the past and learn from it and rejoice to be free from the prison that is regrets! Powerful and beautiful write!
Critical appreciation of the poem beautifully done. Thank you, Hazel.
Well said!
