This is not only an attractive poem, it is really a great idea for long-term relationships. Perhaps even friendships. And when did we look at our children with fresh unpredetermined eyes? Hmmmm... you've got me thinking- -what a delightful thing for a poet to do! I like how you structured your poem to give due emphasis to your lines. Poetry flows through the veins of this poem: see his strange beauty and allow yourself to be surprised every time, - sense the spacious presence, the silence behind his words - for he holds the mystery of the universe in his blood. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Intelligent advice clothed and permeated with a mystic loveliness
Thank you Susan for this reflective response. Yes I agree to look at everyone we know with fresh eyes
Yes, I like the idea of fresh eyes. There is always some fresh magic to be discovered. This is going into my list of favourites.
Amazing romantic write. Deeply insightful and a great subtle message for the lovers. Indeed love can only last when we look at it with fresh eyes, with a new perspective. A pleasure to read.
I try to carry no past when I look at those I love, somehow then they always remain somewhat of a mystery. It's exciting Nosheen to keep seeing life as if for the first time. Thank you.
