A Chance Of A Lifetime Comments

Thank you Mihaela for seeing the poem in a different perspective. However, I believe in the evolution of the soul. For e.g. Saint Mother Teresa evolved from the mundane and Saint (Rishi) Valmiki of the Hindu pantheon (who wrote the epic ' The Ramayana') was in his early life an armed robber.

I interpret the question, at the end of your poem, as a reverse to the Beginning. For I believe, that each one of us is a diamond in itself, which does not need to be shaped, formed, cleaned. It is already Bright! (it is life, and its ways, and this pseudo-reality we are living in, or, taught to perceive it this way by years of different kinds of indoctrination) . A thought-provoking poem.

This poem is a thought as splendid as a diamond! (10)
