One Evening Comments

Rating: 4.4

...Out of some irrepressible urge of talking, I tried to talk to a sparrow, a daily guest who used to sit on my window frame and sometimes hopped on to some twig of the only uncared for tree, a loner like me. I was bold enough in my attempt as if to disturb her calm and poised loneliness, but as I called her she did not pay attention to me; I was shocked, humiliated, I felt my thoughts dying inside,

A beautiful write! ! Human soul endeavouring to connect itself with the animate and inanimate objects of Nature! Regardless of how they treat you, you are ready to take them all into your fold...'my hand a holding one'! Such a person will not have to stay a loner! Thanks, Shahzia for your nice words! !

“It is the evening that questions thus from within me.” ? Friedrich Nietzsche... Self satisfaction is very important in life which this line depicts that ... though my hand was never held but it was enough that my hand was a holding one...

the poems of fate composed in the long and short curved lines, and to study such a great task with different creatures creates a mesmerisation on total natural phenomenon thro this write. certainly this write is then possible only when heart mind n soul is totally detached with worldly affairs and attached with the divine solitude. a great philosophical write with deep sense n thoughta.a grt poetic talent is exhibied thro this write.my sister keep your imagination in full swing.

ahh...the connection of man with the nature is immortal...finding solitutde and peace is the deepest desire of any poet and author...talking to a sparrow highlights the state of lonliness and absorption that the author was lost in imagination and out of pain wanted to share her feelings with a bird which is simply unavailable to this lost soul. it seems as if the author has something deep inside her and she wants to burst out or explode not with a bang but with tears bcz she is neither fed up from the attrocities of this world nor happy with the existing phase...she needs a company of all tose who have the same feelings and share common pains...this piece of writing is really a voice of every emotionally intelligent man in this world: -)

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not a mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition and of unspeakable love.” ? Washington Irving A beautiful write, in quest of company you find an answer as luminous as the moonshine: warm the hearts...

It's a complete piece, so symbolic with beautiful diction and lovely metaphors! ! ! After reading this, i must say you are not only a great poet but a great prose writer as well and i loved this heart felt write. The undying urge to talk to someone, inhours of loneliness, is beautifully described with full on emotion and feeling. The ending just touched my soul. I opened the book of my joined hands and started reading the poems of fate composed in the long and short curved lines, .. brilliant work. Blessings
