Intriguing Mystery Comments

Rating: 4.9

Humming of endless mystery
Life glides down noiseless
Like a trail running into the dark
With thick drapes drawn down

Clueless we stay, placing our hands On the door latch of mysteries Which we are never able to open or enter- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Valsa, it is writing like this, topics like this, and wisdom like this that separates your poetry from the crowd. So fluid, so strong, so determined not to flinch- - the perfect soul to look unflinchingly at life. Outstanding write- - 10+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Susan, this is your second comment on this poem! So happy that you have been tempted to read it a second time! You are one of the most vociferous persons who make beautiful comments. I read your comments posted on the poems of other poets too and it is a pleasure! You zealously do it as an avowed mission and not as a task or obligation and I see poetry in it! Besides you are so very encouraging, that you make each poem special! No wonder you are able to snatch a lot of attention within this short span of your appearance on poem hunter! Thank you so much dear poet friend!

The last two lines are true wisdom! Life is a revelation. Just watch its blossoming every second all around. You are turning very philosophical these days! First it is about pranava, then about the taste of the potion of life and now into profound wisdom! (10)

A wise philosophical poem and a beautiful one like most of your poems. To quote from the poem- - Life began in hideous mystery And it will end up also in mystery Know that much is beyond our grasp And not every puzzle is intended to be solved

It's a great poem, to really enjoy the good comments there must be a bad comment, it's life. I appreciated your poem not as a friend but as a reader, I found it a thoughtful poem.

Magnificent, Valsa. You capture so perfectly the vast gulf between our ability to impose our will (or sense or senses or ideas) on life and life itself. This is true wisdom. A great poem.

This is the kind of truth that man has the hardest time accepting. We always want to explore, experiment, and discover everything about everything. But that just isn't always possible or necessary. Not everything is meant for us to understand. I wrote about a similar topic in my poem Messages of the Wind.

Life began in hideous mystery And it will end up also in mystery In between lies all the intrigue. Maybe life is interesting as a result. We must do all we can to keep it exciting by extending help where needed.

So probe less and accept life That unfurls in its natural sequence! ..................well, there is good probing and bad probing. because i didn't do enough good probing, i flunked out of college. [no regrets] because i DID enough bad probing i spent six months in jail. ha ha. i was kidding on the latter note. Is it not foolish to raise a thunder storm By beating hard upon a drum? .....i agree, though i never tried it. the poem IS filled with poetic and mysterious, if not widely-accepted, wording. i like the poem, but it seems it could allow believers-in-it to be irresponsible and lackadaisical****. [like me sometimes] bri :) **** lack·a·dai·si·cal ˌlakəˈdāzək(ə) l/ adjective adjective: lackadaisical lacking enthusiasm and determination; carelessly lazy. a lackadaisical defense left the Spurs adrift in the second half synonyms: lethargic, apathetic, listless, sluggish, spiritless, passionless; careless, lazy, lax, unenthusiastic, halfhearted, lukewarm, indifferent, unconcerned, casual, offhand, blasé, insouciant, relaxed; informal laid-back, easygoing, couldn't-care-less I was lackadaisical about my training

Bri................ we all know that you do a lot of probing! Who else will probe so deep into the syntax and grammar of each poem as you do! Indeed I am thankful to your probing as I do learn something new each time, you make a critique of my poems! Of course your crazy mind might be doing some bad probing too!

This is so poetic and wise- -a difficult combination for most poets to handle. You have it down pat- -your poetry flows through the philosophical lines providing imagery and rhythm and the sense of mystery you are writing about! ! - - - - - - - - - - - - Struck upon the verge of mysteries Clueless we stay, placing our hands On the door latch of mysteries Which we are never able to open or enter- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Most excellent write, deserving a million 10's!

accept life, accept all lives :) , all the garden... breath existence, the moment of present. I remember Bohr said the position and direction of an electron can't be read at a time, so this is furl if I am right. I am blessed when I read this poem, it is very soft and peaceful like sunlight in January

Life unfurls in its natural sequence. Don't probe it deep. The poet strikes philosophical in the second stanza.

Life is a mystery gliding down but we have to accept it.The poets view on life is expressed in the poem remarkably well.

A very insightful write on life. Since time immemorial thinkers n philosophers have tried to unravel the mystery of life, putting forward different theories. But there's only one way to make life easy, that is, to accept it as it is. It's no use thinking too hard. Full of wisdom, this write sums up the enigma of life in a few verses. A great piece of writing. A super 10.
