A Better Way Comments

Hi Paul, great to read your work again! Love the hope and longing in this poem. Well done! !

I think that we all have a little bit of heaven in our soles, enjoyed your poem Aloan

Beautiful ideas, expressed in very original and well written verses. I agree so much that society is pulling or is trying to pull us into its obsession with thoughts of lack, fear and worries, but somewhere inside of us, heaven is calling and our faith, as big as a mustard seed, will make our world again abundant and beautiful. Thought provoking poem, a joy to read.

Questioning the rationale behind mindless violence and countless crimes is legitimate. Likewise, the words expressed towards the end are very appealing. Thanks a lot. The home of God / In all its splendour. Heaven is in us / Somewhere.

...........wonderful poem, ★ war is such a primitive notion.. .

A wonderful poem, with a timely message. Each of us has, looking within, the opportunity to see the Better Way. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. Very well done.

War is a necessary evil in our times when we are faced with the threat of domination and annihilation from an ideology that does not recognize man's basic right to free will. Your piece is very timely and relevant.

Well, I didn't get a chance to read it, Paul, before you changed it, but I can say that I do like it the way it is now. Well done, and congratulations on having it selected as poem of the day!

Hope nobody minds but I have amended the first stanza to make it clearer.

Those last lines are absolutely eternally real.... Well done Paul.

Thanks Terry and Jasbir. Yes, sometimes I am an Ideas Poet.

Beyond beyond: Infinity eternal, Eternal infinity, Infinite eternity, Eternity infinite. I enjoyed this, quite clever, shifting meanings, nice concepts, nice lines.

very true, Heaven is in us, Somewhere

Thanks for those kind words Chinedu.

A well articulated poem written with insight, to capture the essence of the poem and conviction of the poet. It's a lovely piece with powerful message. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.

Still only warming up here folks.

On reflection the 2nd stanza looks rather repetitive. However, my point is made.

My Dad was called Peter...

Life makes it hard to see inside ourselves to know there is heaven there. Only through Gods word is it possible to understand. I enjoyed your poem, a great message. Also thanks for the comment on my poem. It's well appreciated

Sometimes we have morning daydreams where the very notion of this appears to take place This is a stunning poem, uplifting and truly inspiring in its simplicity Love duncan X
