A Step Away Comments

Nightingales in the cage Awful image

Part Two. Nightingales and their promise of freedom and the young men both seem " just a step / far away from delightfulness / then flying in a new sky." The young men haven't grown bitter and pessimistic yet so they sense and desire the simple joy of open range and open expression and I pray they keep the purity of their soul and fly out of any cage laid to trap them 10++++++++

Part One. Here I am again. This poem calls me. I don't know if I follow but what I am drawn to is the nightingales- and the souls who watch them in their cages... and I wonder who is most in a cage- the nightingales or the young men....

three amazing comments by dear poet: Rose Marie Juan-austin shed the light on the positive side of life, her special way of reading the poems always enrich the themes and contents, her valuable and encouragement views are important to me, Many Thanks again good poet wish you always to stay on the top

A revisit of this great poem gave me the opportunity to think over and ponder the wonderful thoughts of the brilliant Poet. And I reiterate my previous comment that it is a poem of great depth. I concur with the comments of Poet Bangalee more particularly the second stanza. Beautifully written. To my Poem List.

In all our endeavors in life, we must always be hopeful and discern what is best for us to undertake to attain the purpose we aimed to obtain. Happiness does not come in a silver platter. It must be earned and searched for in the course of an enduring life.

Sometimes in our search for happiness, we become blinded and overwhelmed by the things that surround us. That there are times we could not recognize the joy we are seeking is just around the corner waiting to be embraced.

Dear Mahtab, Hello and Thank you for sparing your time to read my humble poem, ,

Those souls who are awake only need a second rest from thinking as they became pessimistic with the long dark winter's nights and hopeless with the burning summer's Sunshine......... excellent poem expression Open every door of the soul of life let the happiness come and enjoy the life with the flowers and thorns together!

Dear poet Susan, Hello...you are right this poem is simple and deep at the same time, according to the way of reading it, many thanks for your generous commentary that encouraging me to write better, I hope you have enjoyed it, don't worry you are writing better than this, congratulations you are so good...

PART TWO. They are just a step / far away from / delightfulness / then flying in a new sky.< - - - oh if only I had written those rich in imagery lines! ! ! You are to be complimented on this incredible poem. It charms us to follow them into a happy land soon to become a dark wasteland. Beautiful and philosophic and I wish I had written it! ! !

PART ONE A group of souls / stood under the shade / of an era / watching those nightingales / in their cage....< - -< - - Once in a while a brilliant poet might find themselves gifted with such lovely lines but more likely they worked at writing for years before such luscious lines flowed from their pen! ! ! ! And these words drew me into the world of this poet's making

Dear Chinedu Dike, I consider your beautiful comment as the biggest gift I have ever received, thank you very much... wish you a good health and all the best..

Well articulated and nicely brought forth with conviction. An insightful piece of poetry.

Under the shade of an era... Intriguingly mysterious, great poem

Those souls who are awake only need a second rest from thinking as they became pessimistic with the long dark winter's nights and hopeless with the burning summer's Beautiful

I'm so glad I have met you and have so many of your poems yet to read. You are an extraordinary poet and I am so impressed by your talent and depth of thought. 10++++++++++++++ and onto my fav list

Deep. The poet is certainly unhappy over things that happen this era. Truly he has a right to feel so. Liked this thought provoking piece

A poignant and thought provoking poem. A poem of great depth. It captures sadness yet a great hope for happiness. Brilliantly penned.
