I enjoy your poems and find them tranquil and uplifting so please don't feel badly but I am no nearer to understanding you motives than before. Are you saying your poems are extensions of God, Faith and Prayer. Or that it is the daily struggle we all have with Light and Dark, the moving spirit God if you like or Shiva or Allah That poems of the Human Spirit no matter how moving are only shadows and that the only poetry is that of reflection contemplation and prayer. Whilst I understand what motivates and moves you you seem dismissive of other forms as if somehow the writer and by extension their writing are mere flummery. Maybe like me you'd be better not explaining and let your your words talk for themselves. I once had a very wise English teacher who when I complained that people misread my poetry said once you have let your children, ie poems. out into the world you have no control over them. What is deduced by the reader is not necessarily what the writer meant or intended sometimes that has to be the best we can hope for. Sorry for such a lengthy piece but I struggle my self sometimes and despair at the readers misinterpretation of my poor offerings but then that's writing and one has to try and be philosophical about the out come good, bad or indifferent as they might be.
Dear Paul, thank you so much for your attention and time and your appeasing report and you support. After your report I understood that it seems to me that unlike many of poets I always have the concrete AIM in my mind to which I go, sometimes more concscienly than many of poets. Lack of feeling of aim in life is what irritates me in people's chaotic movement in life through many of their activities. and in poetry too. Since I am more sure in my aim - I wanted to make it more clear through my essay and to help my readers to understand me better. Thank you!
