echoes of Babel

I have read, and reread this eloquent cry of the poet\'s soul, that whisper in the gloaming where few hear, and methinks I know, or rather, understand better what I never realized before. It\'s not the disunity. No. It\'s our head. Gorgeously rendered with excellent imagery and a gripping, haunting poignancy whose voice lingers. Thank you for sharing.

I don\'t know who babel is,my sense from this write is remembering days past and how things might have been and searching for a way to get back to them, for people to be heard and listened to again, apologies if wrong, enjoyed the read

Brilliant! I have heard this Bible (fable) used to explain many things even as an analogy of the development of language from its original roots through proto European and on to us, but never as a metaphor for individual relationships and their breakdown in communication. I works so well in the initial unity of a relationship where all is shared and time is spent in communication and its erosion and demise through lack of communication net even understanding each other any more. There are other metaphors that can be take from this but this one struck me. Very well done Cryptic

Good write A. Wasn\'t the confusion of languages at Babel (Babble) so that mankind would not do even more evil than they were capable of? Of course, we can learn other languages now, and put them to good purposes - trade, commerce, treaties between nations, etc.
I dunno how those people would know when their tower had reached Heaven. When they saw the Pearly Gates, if they exist?!

Well done.Your poem serves to honor Basho\'s legacy and the enduring impact of Japanese culture, exploring how nature and history intertwine to shape identity and memory.

\"I am\" is indeed the key, as I\'m sure you already know. Turning that key and stepping into living realities takes a whole lot of patience, gratitude, persistence, faith and love, doesn\'t it?!
Great write.

In this I read one\'s imagination. Where it takes one is limitless. But the beauty of this poem is its openness to interpretation. This could be anything. If we think in terms of spirituality and religion, the boarding pass could be faith. In other situations...the possibilities are limitless. Well done, my friend! 🌹👏

Believe me Cryptic I have flown to endless horizons and when I got there they looked the same as the ones I left. I do like the idea of metaphor in this poem of endless internal horizons where imagination does the flying. I fly that airline frequently and have lots of frequent flyer miles accrued. A fun read my friend.

Tristan Robert Lange said:

Time is ultimately a human construct. The earth turns without any recognition of it. The stars we see today could have imploded 500 light years ago. Even as I write this I cannot write \"outside of time\" because it is so embedded in language; yet, what is it really? Is this moment disconnected from every previous moment and from every moment to come? Or do we make a measurement of time to keep ourselves from coming completely unraveled in uncertainty? I believe the latter. We invent time to keep an order of things...because we need that order to survive. Or, it is possible that time is truly real in this plane of existence and if that is the case, the question becomes, what lies beyond time? Either way, the stuff that will keep one up pondering at night. And for that, this gets a fave. Well done, my friend. ⏱️🖤🐦‍⬛
