Love and Freedom



A word is just a word without a story.

A story is just a story without a vision.

A vision is just a vision without a feeling.

When you have:
   A story
   A vision
   A feeling,
That is when you create a memory.

Memories come in all colors.

Only can the Artist choose his palette,
To create a canvas filled with Peace, Beauty and Joy;
In order to Embrace Life,

With Love and Freedom.

    I really enjoyed reading your poem "Love and Freedom." It has a comforting rhythm and flow, providing a soothing albeit enlightening reading experience. Your succinct yet impactful explanation of how stories, visions, feelings, and memories interrelate is thought-provoking. The metaphor of an artist creating a memory like a painting, choosing the colors from his palette is an extremely beautiful and memorable image.

    The phrases: 'A vision is just a vision without a feeling' and 'Memories come in all colors' particularly resonated with me. These lines were powerful and stirred a lot of emotions. It's an artful blend of depth and simplicity that evokes contemplation and reflection from the reader, which I absolutely love.

    As for improvement, you might consider adding a few more vivid and concrete images or examples that could make your abstract concepts feel tangible. Also, you may want to consider whether every line is working towards the overall theme of the poem. For instance, does the line "Memories come in all colors," contribute to the overall theme? If it does, it might be helpful to make that connection clearer. The last line "With Love and Freedom" could also be fortified with a stronger verb or imagery to make the ending more powerful and reaffirm your message.

    Nonetheless, your work is beautiful, imaginative, and thought-provoking. Keep writing!
