A Degree Of Intensity Comments

The poem touches the heart and the poet's note touches the brain.

We all came from nothingness and moving towards nothingness in between we try to do somethings that we think will give some recognition in this world but in the end when we realise that it is NOTHINGNESS that will prevail we leave everything as is, a thought provoking poem indeed, Loved it, thanks for sharing.10+++

Wow- -This poem goes to my favorite list .

The poem as if takes me through this voyage of creation- - Life and and death. As per Hindu philosophy our soul (Atma) is part of BIGGER SOUL(Param Atma} Atma takes creation from Param Atma and becomes Life and always in the process to return and merge with Param Atma.In Hindu scripture.Bhagawat Gita it is described how Lord Sri Krishna shows Arjuna His Viswa Rupa(Cosmic Image}.How Lord Is the force of all creation and all destruction... Your poem is a great write with deep philosophical insight.There are some beautiful stanza that hold my breath.

Intriguing piece of English. Much enjoyed.

When I see Philosophy walking toward me, usually looking exceedingly intelligent and speaking a language so foreign to mine it might as well be a language from another planet, what I normally do is turn and run screaming into the hills. I think you make philosophical conversations accessible and enjoyable. On a poetic level, the imagery and the vocabulary in this is magic, absolute magic. And your thoughts.... they amaze me. Nothing like having read an amazing, magical, philosophical poem to kick my day off into a great new direction. Thank you!

From Being to Nothingness, this poem captures it all. You have wonderfully explored the question of existence that is probably the biggest mystery of the world. We have an acute consciousness of ourselves n our surroundings which you have so beautifully mingled...my face was morning light...my eyes were the last stars to fade...my heart was the growth of sweet flowers. We are connected to this world physically n spiritually and to lose awareness of it all is a terrifying thought. A great philosophical work that has layers of meanings.

the whole poem was intriguing 'Time gripped me first, held me tightly, then tumbled me across Space. Time was just a smoky haze, circulating around everything. Space was a viscous vortex, spinning in a tight circle, like a mountain drilling itself into a planet. Suddenly, the spinning stopped, and Space stretched out, stretched before me, behind me, above and below me... And Time was everywhere' this I can feel in written choices, wonderfully expansive

The brightness of love and the peace of life. Nice work.

You are so talent & your job is Excellent. I love to read it. Heartiest thanks.

Daniel, I am in awe of your talent. This poem held me captured from the first line to the last. I came back to it again today because in a way it haunted me. Daniel you are amazing.

I've been very focused on Frosini's poem, Imagine, where we are supposed to consider being nothing. This poem captures that! I will definitely come back to this... What a creative imagining you've constructed in these parallel dimensions of existence... I haven't read this modern philosopher... But I see Harry Potter, Neitzsche, Astronomy, and the bounds of conscious human thought in this poem!

Wonderful piece of work. Loved every second.

A well articulated philosophical poem penned in high level diction.

I have been ill; I'm not sure this was the poem I needed to cheer me back to health. But, oh, how true! Esp. these lines: It was terrifying to be NOTHING again... If I sleep, truly sleep, will I dream the whole of it again?

An exquisite masterpiece, as Rachel said...no other word can describe the poetical beauty of this poem. As I was reading it, I felt magnetized by its intensity; as I usually feel when I read Rilke. A poet I truly admire, and I know you do too.

It happened that I read your poem. I was alerted. The philosophical mind understood every beat of speaking and shined through memory. Beautifully crafted and drafted poem definitely shared on. Nice job.and then I have read your other poems. so wonderful, I should say, thank you for your wonderful work.

.............this is the poem I always wanted to write....for me this is your best work so far of which I have read.....absolutely love this poem :)

.........Daniel, I love this write....it's an exquisite masterpiece....I will be reading this one again this evening :)

Degree of intensity is well judged and described with beautiful imagery in this poem definitely. Suitable to each word this poem expresses inner depth on the subject matter. Very nicely penned.
