Ascent And Apotheosis Comments

It will happen and you will embrace the emotion shared here in this context Remaining already within dance is interesting. Very thoughtful poem shared really.

So I just noticed that this is an allegory...an allegory for? OK...here's my short list: 1) Making it to 20 years + of marriage? ; 2) Finishing writing an amazing epic poem or book? ; 3) someone who has slept for ages past counting, and then awakened in bliss? hmmmm..... Could be a person who suffers from depression or a negative mindset and then suddenly opens their eyes and becomes aware of the beauty and amazingness of life and the world? not really allegorical...OK....I'm not sure, but I'm intrigued...more thought required....

This was JUST the poem I needed to read today! :) First off, I looked at the painting and just enjoyed the art. I found the muses, Orpheus, Mars and Venus, and some dark looking characters off to the side...they weren't as clear. So to the poem, The opening stanza invites the reader to let go of everything difficult and just 'trust' the mind in its 'granite calm' to ascend to the apotheosis or highest point. Could it be that easy? Why yes! If you make it there, your inflamed heart will 'burn' but it will not be consumed...is that like Nirvana? Mount Parnassus, is the pinnacle of all that is amazing in life from a mythological perspective. You will also be floating on the wind and listening to Orpheus perform amazing music. I LOVE how you bring together the meaning of this picture in achingly exquisite prose! Could anything be better than what you have described? Here there is no guilt, there is only desire and love...And the subjects in the poem arrive there TOGETHER...I'm dying inside...in the most amazing way! This was just the ROMANTIC poem I needed today. Loved it! :)

I am amazed by the way you express the love journey in the form of mythology. We all want to go to Omphalus where the eyes can speak, listen, taste and our bodies and souls fused, blissfully live in our home forever. Enjoyed your poem very much. Thank you, Daniel.

Daniel there is so much in your poem that speaks to all desires. The message to me is to trust the natural process of your aspirations. There is no need to try too hard. Surrender to the dance of life and know you are evolving. Your exquisite poem captured me by the heart. Thank you Daniel :)
