What an incredibly powerful line--the entire poem is. This feels like a message to my younger self. The bliss of blind optimism from my childhood, teens and early twenties... I still have remnants of that naivety...however, it is something I am now aware of.
Now, at 28, having experienced the unexpected loss of a loved one, your poem resonates deeply with me. Thank you for sharing such a profound piece.
P. S., I adore Aristophanes.❤🌸
