When The Sun Sets On Me Comments

One day we have to leave this world also alone..Lovely poem

life is beautiful difficult to detach leaving all attachments before sun set!

The comment given underneath was posted by Shri Unnikrishnan ES to my in box. Hi Krishna, There is something wrong with the site. I could not post the comment below the poem. So I post it here for you. If you could, paste it below the poem, so everybody could read: Exquisite muse on the inevitable end. Your poem recalls the statement in Bhagavat Gita (in part of course) , 'Vaasaamsi jeernani yatha vihaaya Navani gruhnaati naroparaani...' meaning, as men discard old clothings to don new ones, the dehi (aatma) too discard old bodies to don new bodies.' That is the essence of Indian philosophy of 'punarjanma' and the ultimate 'moksha'. As Aadi Shankara said, 'punarapi jananam, punarapi maranam......' But, I find a reflection of the Christian spirituality too in the poem. ' disappear... to some promised land to bide... without having to ever die again....' These lines have meanings distinctly different from the 'moksha' in Indian philosophy, but is close to the Cristian philosophy. Do I see a faint resonance of the famous poem by Sister Mary Beninja (Mary John Thottam?) here! Fantastic write. Your vast reading has added value to this poem. Loved reading. Congrats.10++

Alone we come and alone we go..... In between we have to live together and share the pain and partake of the joys of others, so that we will have the contentment of having lived well and 'died well'! Enjoyed this great philosophic brooding on life n'death!

A philosophy that allows for release from fear and the liberty of acceptance. A new sun and a new moon, yes. The thought of renewing old conversations is extraordinary in being both simple and yet wonderful.

A fine philosophical poem with thoughts that are both tender and tough.

Enjoyed this reality shared. It has such hope, and calming affect.

To sing and laugh; and, to restart old conversations. Nice piece of work.

I'll send this to MyPoemList. but ….. oops! ..... Restart old coversations? someone stole an n. here, you can use this one: N. But, maybe PH was the culprit; sometimes I swear PH changes things. i had trouble reading it in one place due to a lack of punctuation, but i managed! I wanted to continue line 5 into line 6 as being all in one sentence. wouldn't it be NICE..........if the poem came true? yes, it would be nice. i especially like Having lived reasonably well............ though i'm not sure if you are talking about creature comforts enjoyed or an upright personality/morality lived. die well.... another uncertain phrase for me, but i like it also. bri :) p.s. i like your use of a series of periods (to ‘make’ the reader pause): of course i like it since i do the same thing sometimes in my poems. p.p.s. I can’t resist. I’ll have to look at the Humpty Dumpty poem.

Powerful perspective pertaining to life and the after life.

Beautiful, heart-felt depiction of death. You painted a beautiful picture of it in my mind. A masterpiece. Well said. Thank you for sharing it. RoseAnn

So beautiful in its amazingly simple way.
