David, This is another of your very nice poems. Very deep and reflective and the images used are very well chosen. A good piece of poetry.

The wind of style now make the motionless flag to dance in the air...show the magic of your writing :) , well done David Beckham u strike it well...i love the part of 'broken boat' and broken bottle...but i think there's a lot of great lines there....'no gesture' really help me to say my words..but i want to tell 1-NICE N GOOD JOB! -Unwritten soul

well penned portrait, nice symbolistic poem

great writing. whatever i wanted to say, all others have echoed in their views. Very poignat and sharp realism penned beutifully.

Exceptional flow of thoughts! The second stanza (in sharp contrast to the first one which lays so beautifully the ground for the second one) is an epitome of the power of positive thinking. May your pen be able to produce more such poems of life and inspiration...

There is light at the end of the tunnel There is light at the end of the cave There is joy around the world He lives on I poem of deep inspiration and exceptional beauty. A poem concluding in hope at the end of the tunnel. 10+++ Excellent

Excellent poem. The beginning starts well to portray the emotions and the scene. I like the flag metaphor and the stillness of the poem.

Very deeply touching poem Well penned Thanks for sharing with me

Very deep / really touched me and almost feel it..beautiful work

A very touching poem, i can taste tha pain

life and death are both journeys..so is your poem..

very powerful theme behind every word. I like what Gary had to say about it and it basically sums up everything I need to tell you about your writing. :)

A vivid reminder of the stark reality of life in it's final hour and how necessary to prepare for the eternity that awaits us.. Trusting we've trusted Christ who safely brings us, gloriously brings us, to the Light at the end of the tunnel, for He is the Light.. Hallelujah, what a Saviour! Well written David.

Staring reality in face, Telling me: It's the eyes of the child that fear the painted devil. One day, we shall all be motionless. Thanks for the 'reality'

It almost sounds as if you've experienced this yourself. Very deep and touching descriptions. Thank God for the light!

Very good, and powerful writing.

Reminds me of my father... keep up the good work.

The light of hope burns brightly!

I can empathise with this David. My son STEPHEN (44) had a stroke on the MOTORWAY and when I saw him in hopital the day after he was paralysed down his left side - couldn't speak or eat. He is back home now after 3 months in hospital. Your first lines echo how he was. What he needed was understanding and TLC as some of your other respondents have suggested. Thanks for caring and sharing - Your Friend - JOHN : o)

i felt ur heart....and i felt the pain of this man and it made me want to reach in and hug him and to encourage him to do something that would make that light shine in his life again.... thx for letting me read this is beyond beautiful my friend...
