Poetry Pointing To Life Comments

The life this poem points is characteristically the whole human race. No one is excluded from your embrace. In particular, in the last two stanzas you invite e-v-e r-y-o-n-e but it is a sign of our vexed age that you feel the need to add NOT AFRAID AT ALL. That itself is an act of faith in people whom you describe as making up a community.You make this community seem as natural as the seasons and just as welcome.
