From Deep Within

[Stanley Wotring]

Powerful and at the same time painful.

[Paul Wittenberger]

Thank you, Stan!

[Anant Saxena]

Indeed!

[Jason McBride]

The rhythm here is compelling and beautiful! I agree with Stanley, powerful and painful!

[Paul Wittenberger]

Thanks, Jason

[Richbee]

Snuff the candle. Shadows betrayed begone. Strike a torch and move on with a beam of bright energy to guide you.

[Anant Saxena]

Beam? Try something like let the torch manifest the light awaiting to be lit?

[Paul Wittenberger]

Thanks, Richard

[Jeff RE]

This sounds like date-night for me...

You're not spying on me, are you Paul? ;)

[Paul Wittenberger]

I hope you’re not kept languishing, Jeff!

[Patris]

There’s music in the background

[roger hawcroft]

Stingingly emotive.

[Chen Rafaeli]

something like this

PS point me to the poems you'd like me to try to translate? for I cannot choose even though I have contenders of course

[Paul Wittenberger]

You choose, Chen.

[Anant Saxena]

Black birds by Linkin Park?

[Chen Rafaeli]

It's cool, thank you!! Never heard it before

i meant Paul's poems...if he feels like it of course...but this one, I might try too.

[Paul Wittenberger]

You might try As If She Still Is Here because it’s one of my favorites.

[Chen Rafaeli]

I can't find it, I mean in Paul's Substack?

I think I confused everyone including myself))

I'll look it up though, thank you, Anant!

PS what a beautiful name

[Paul Wittenberger]

I think Anant is referring to a song by Linkin Park.

[Kevin Maher]

Perfect!👏✍️

[Paul Wittenberger]

Thanks, Kevin!

[Paul Wittenberger]

Thanks for the restack, @Lavinia king

[Paul Wittenberger]

Thanks to @The Rewind for restacking this!

[Anant Saxena]

Paul have you ever smelled the 16th chapel?

[Paul Wittenberger]

I’ve smelled neither the sixteenth nor the Sistine chapel

[david wells]

We, the Unrequited

[Paul Wittenberger]

Tanka you, David!
