Written by Jacob Ibrag
There used to be a world that lived
in my mind which I used to visit when I’d close
my eyes. As the months gave birth to years, it became
increasingly harder to remember how to get there. Upon the
final day of my arrival, all that was left were tired trees and
a people that had forgotten. I became a stranger to the
world as it moved on to care for someone else.
Eyes + Words 
A good poetry to relive ones dreams thoughts.

The full quote By Alexander Pope:
How happy is the blameless
Vestals lot

By the world forgot

Spotless Mind
Another Prayer accepted
Another wish resigned

Love this poem! A reminder we will all become strangers to the world and it will move on to care for someone else. Bitter truth.

Oh yes, I am really appreciating that interpretation. I saw it through the lens of an immersion state. Ah, I love how poetry engages the audience in creating meaning. 🌼

I found this an expression of how celebration and mourning can coexist: trying to return to mindstates that helped us to feel comfort and belonging, discovering that they no longer meet our needs, and understanding it may serve someone else’s well. I guess I’m seeing how we can ‘outgrow’ something we still love and have tenderness for those who are in a place that looks familiar to us. Almost like the natural experience of growing beyond what some might have called ‘addiction’ to any particular thought or habit. I’m feeling Alive and curious after absorbing this. Hope and authenticity I guess. Thank you

The feeling of abandonment, that sense of getting left behind is never easy to handle, especially all around you, the ones who loved you keep on leaving you, and it is, especially difficult, to NOT abandon yourself…
