'A building, some windows, my dreams.' An excellent poem where you have wonderfully described the idea. The last lines are valuable. Composition is powerful and melodious. Added 10 to it.

Nicely expressed: depth, dichotomy and connection.

I liked - the way you have occasional rhymes but don't let them take over. I wasn't very happy about - 'corpus callosum', which I had to look up, and seems very technical for this poem. (Was HUM meant to rhyme with CALLOSUM? I hope not!) I was puzzled by - the plain door and the carved key, wondering what the significance of these details might be. I would love to know - what your 'two worlds' are. There is obviously a very good poem hiding here.

We are all unique, inside our world we are but one, to walk in strange places I find rewarding, to meditate and walk we find we are part of the same Oneness (Param Atman) and we realise life is Now. Loved your metaphors, loved this poem, its flow was perfect. Bob

It would seem, dear Rani, that the left side of the door has lit up with the comings and goings of so many inventive lines. Use the key. Unlock the potential.
