My Soul Is Totally Ripped Up, Comments

A poem about Saint John of Kronstadt! One of the greatest saints of Russia.Beautiful!

what does sewed mean here? needle and thread? did you 'want' a comma after But? There MUST be more to this 'story'! at least help me with a Poet's Note! please. but i won't come back looking for it. are you as 'religious' as you seem? it's ok; i still like you. ;) bri :)

You are gifted to touch the heart of all, thanks for the wonderful poem

Really it's a lovely poem. I enjoyed this. Thank you so much.

this poem is actually a portrait not made by you but by the hill of passion, talent and maturity those are lying within you.........greatly enjoyed it.

You packed a lot of vivid imagery into just eight lines. The ripped up concrete (your soul) is off set by the threads (John of Kronstadt's intervention): snow covers asphalt just as the relics cover your pain. I looked up his name in a book in Russian icons thinking just maybe he might be referenced - no luck there. But I wonder if he was like the figure of Father Zosima in BROTHERS KARAMAZOV? When I read that novel at age 16 the world turned upside down for me. I had never been so moved in my life. So I have an inkling of your experience with the relics.

A wonderful spiritual poem indeed. we need spirituality, faith, love, hope. you are penning all that in these small verses. thank you very much

Standing tight with your faith, lovely and great picture of Saint John.....

My soul is totally ripped up, My heart is broken. But sewed by Saint John of Kronstadt, By godly light is warmed and softened..........so nicely envisioned.Your believe on Saint John of Kronstadt is so high. Faith is great. A beautiful spiritual poem I like most. Thanks for sharing......10

Snow Covers asphalt quietly rearrange for the sake of grammar

would like to know who is this divine person, but the poem strongly holds your faith high.god bless you.

Borken heart in the name of love; but, life goes on! ! So, pick up the pieces and move on. Nice work.

My soul is totally ripped up, My heart is broken. but it is rewoven by Saints. you are a great believer. i like such people. it is true faith helps us to solve the problems of life and to stand erect when we are depressed. Let your soul be revived. that is my prayer for you. tony
