Ah, interesting themes - in these hands. I enjoyed reading this poetry, actually slowed down instead of the speed read one might slip into when the attention isn't held.
The Man Of Stone I especially like, the journey it takes and how we go with it. Forgive my - I suppose you'd call it overt atheism - but mention of 'himself' outside of jokes/blasphemy rather causes my heart to sink - except in each case here, I'm able to ignore it. Surely we must all do that - enjoying what we can of something that includes elements of our dislikes? Moving along I don't think there's one poem I dislike here.
Even if one were to point out that time and ripples have shared the page before - with ducks n drakes - one would have to accede to the fine use of those elements. Who can really stop the human mind having natural shared imaginings? So that's not even a critique, it's an observtion.
I shall shut up now rather than shown any more ignorance, except to hint that I recognise elements of certain other themes - I mean identify with, and that's job done, innit?
I had just been writing on the very topic of the use of God in poetry to denote something provided by nature - perhaps invoking reflection or a spiritual feeling, and then I found this comment. I thought that I must have accidentally posted the piece and you were responding to it - how strange.

I was on about the water being God's mirror because it is a mirror provided by nature, when you see your reflection in a lake etc

Indeed! Have you seen my Instagram post?
Not yet - I’m heading that way now…
Ha! Brilliant!
Not a religious God don't worry! Thanks for commenting
