Truly a five-star creation if there ever was one. Take a deep bow, Smoky.
Oh, how I wish I could write such a jewel--it is perfect.5 million stars for this creation, Smoky. And I faved it to read it again and again.
This is the most beautiful poem on PH, bar none, and I include the classic poets in that statement. This is utterly beautiful--beautiful--beautiful
Thank you Smoky for this poem with great insight........10
We are all connected in some way or the other, both in life and death. Dr Einstein's quote is marvellous too.
A beautiful write that echoes many of my beliefs and what little understanding I have. Well penned with a flowing meter. Well done
May I quote the poet's expression, '"There may be no answers to the delusions of time and space; only the choice to trust, or not.…" and the conclusive three lines! A thoughtful write worthy of profuse admiration.
Smoky you ought to try to show more and tell less about intent within the poem. Give it a try sometime.
Thank you sincerely for the thoughtful advice. I am in a state of continual learning... which does not come easy with my lowly education.
