Mystic Comments

This reads as a conversation between the speaker in the poem and a past person in their life who discarded them based upon incorrect assumption. This person is no mystic. The last four lines sum it up...yet this person being addressed could also be a universal character often encountered in any person's life, therefore making this poem relatable.... 'believing his own piety and making another responsible for his own taboo, his own unholy thoughts So you live your life and pretend you are what you present yourself as, all the while knowing the questions were yours.'

A nicely written and insightful piece, Grace. Thanks
