Thank you Ariana! I'm so glad you picked up on that line because reading that line was the whole inspiration behind writing this poem.
I read some excerpts from John D Rockefeller's letters to his son, and this was his line : "The sharp razor is definitely not sharpened on gorgeous velvet"
I particularly needed to hear this this week! “As velvet cannot hone the blade” -- so beautiful! Love this one

So cool how one line can birth an entire poem around it!
