The Divi Divi tree

Such a flawless work great work keep it up

It's a lovely piece. Oh! Aruba is a dream for us Brazilian people.

All I have to say is this.... amazing... each stanza held me in a trance... I adore pieces that can toss me into the moment, like I'm there... I felt like I was on a vacation with my love.. ha ha.. very pretty piece ~

I've lost myself,
within all that I found
before me.

^We are often lost in ourselves Yaki, lost in who we have become not who we really are, I loved the strength of the opening, the strength in the flow as this seemed slightly sad to me.

there was a time
before all of this-

..there must have been..

^You are saying that you were the real you at one point, or at least you think you were, it was too long ago to remember, I can relate to that.

and although
now,
so much has slipped
away from my arms

and what once
was so comforting
now brings heartache

^Self-Harm maybe here, maybe I am trying to find what relates to me, instead of what the poem really means but I sensed that you once felt comfort from destruction but now it doesn't feel the same

I still have that

underneath the Divi tree

^I liked this, and I'll check out the Divi Tree, it does sound a very beautiful piece of plant

and its enchanting really,
as enchanting as
those sunsets we watched
together,

^You are remniniscing about the past and what you can remember of it

in the time before
all feelings faded
and life became
a bottomless pit.

^There were good times before it became the way it was now

This was really sad sweetie, I could relate to it (maybe I put my own meaning into it, I am not sure)

But I liked the flow which was flawless and the emotion was powerful too

Loved it Yaki
