I would die a poet
Pilgrim from a burnished land

Claimed by many as a friend.

Fun read and prophetic. A combination worth thousand picture. Thanks for sharing
The poet made me speechless! Faith with which he welcomes death, is unmatchable.
The voice of the Shepherd as many of us hear. Thank you for this gem.
Lovely poem shairing.i enjoy your poem......10++++++++for it
This one gives a very peacefull feeling to be honest, also its simplicity is in fact the art here, short but not too short and with just that amount of emotions that we need to get, like it :)
nice work.. death is a beautiful thing if we die peacefully..
Hello again Colin....what can I say..... In a spiritual way...God said, .... for the Bread...This Is My Body for the wine.....This is my blood..... 'I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIGHT' Amen to You...brother! .....Bev...
self realization... personified...those hidden virtuous voices I too have started hearing them what a profound write
This is fantastic, a true knowdledge of one's self. great writing abilities and tone. well done
I write to be read and remembered those who understood my words will claim me as a friend and those who don't will say i was someone mad in either way i'll be remembered... a very beautiful message indeed... in last three lines may be you are pointing towards the lullaby cause i still hear the lullaby sung by my mom a very first poem poured into my ears...or i might be wrong...thanks for sharing your wonderful write Sir...
i tend to disagree with an earlier comment that said this piece was 'very deep'.It's a pretty straightforward and appealing 'message', and after reading Colin's bio, it puts it into some context.As someone struggerling with their own spiritualism, i was touched by the simpleness and clarity of the last three lines.Altruism is my own personal path toward a higher being(whatever he/she may be) and i have a feeling i might learn a few things, if i continue to read Colin's words.
'My world rests upon the belief of a loving God. ' Ian, I share this with you. I see this in all your poems. Therefore, I love to read you. +10 as always regards anjali

This is a truly inspirational poem Colin. I also read your biography which is quite poetic in itself. It makes the reader want to know more about you.
