Good write indeed. The thought drama is after all what is life. The third verse is remarkable. To the simple vermin we are nothing. Congrats.
'Lying in the open and gazing at stars' in the wind stream of night, induces in me a haunting longing, a cold impaling chill, a desire to grasp unattainable distances, a need to master transfix time space continuum, to explore time secrets sealed in eternity, to unlock know creations discoveries civilizations released in alien minds
I wrote the poem 'Lying In Open Spaces Gazing At Stars', inspired by the poem 'A Night Before Battle' by Usman Hanif and dedicated to Usman Hanif.
Tops! USMAN; on any list of poems including international ecclesiastic scriptures... Thought as a balancing act much as a circus juggler, thus the curses; much as the law repeats, expecting different results; so in the end GRACE lifts us. I shall forever remember this poem as one great poetic expression along side Langston Hughes, Gibran, ML King, and Angelou....
Wonderful poem. Written so beautifully. Our minds do become battle grounds and we sometime helpless warrior lying lifeless. Congratulations for a well deserve poem of the day.
It is a wonderful poem...quite worthy of being poem of the day...without thoughts, we are lifeless indeed...
excellent poem, fit to be the poem of the day, congratulations!
Loved it, well said! The use of words conveys the futility of war, to me at least.
brilliant, a rapt stimulation of thoughts; nicely delivered! Well done!
very nice poem full of thoughts springing from reality and filled with fantasy it makes a good poem..

Heaven's Reaches Within Hand Clasps standing outside in quiet open spaces in empty park or in a field surrounded by circumference of an horizon sphere gazing at stars filling night velvet void lying in open spaces gazing at stars in the warm wind stream of night induces a curiosity haunting longing star gazing introspection inspires differing mood personality perceptions gazing up at stars on cold winter nights inspires sharp chill cutting crisp clarities reaches within heavens within hand clasps Copyright © Terence George Craddock Inspired by my comment upon the poem 'A Night Before Battle' by Usman Hanif.
