On the road...
The asters will insist
On blooming, even
If the bridges
In the rear-view
Are flaming still;
On the road
Between despondency
And acquiescence,
Might there lurk
The needed epiphany?

Holden,
I just wanted to take a moment to praise you for your poem On the Road. The way you capture the delicate balance between struggle and resilience is truly powerful. The imagery of the asters blooming despite the fiery bridges is so striking—it speaks to the persistence of life, even in the face of hardship. Your exploration of the emotional road between despondency and acceptance is both poignant and relatable. And the question of an epiphany lingering in that space feels like a hopeful reminder that clarity can come, even when we least expect it. You've written something that resonates deeply and beautifully. Keep sharing your voice—it's a gift.
Regards,
Rolph
