The Truth.. Comments

The will to optimism and moving forward seems the predominant energy of this poem. It is rich in thoughts and explorations of how self-sufficiency might be gained, how living may be felt and guided to positivity again. The references to roots and childhood are also strong, part of 'the Truth'. I like especially the call to self, the lines: 'there is so much to see.. there is sooo much in front of me..'. Thank you for this poem and for the others too.

Like your other poems this paints a rather bleak but misty picture. The poems are all good at creating this sort of lost unhappy atmosphere of alienation. I think, however, they would have more impact if you cut down on the number of abstract nouns and chose instead to use more concrete nouns and images, that is, don't talk about 'sorrow' in the abstract but describe, say, a glistening tear rolling down somebody's cheek or describe a sorrowful face.

It is written 'The truth shall set you free'. What is your truth seems to be a journey, but is it one with a destiny. Does your faith stake its life on it or is life just a mere wishful dream. A beautiful ponderance and a nice poem.
