This poem evokes a mixture of feelings a wistfulness, a sense of now culminating in the moment and the joy of living it greeting it as if it were a welcome visitor that can not stay but a moment but that moment is all eternity. A poem of fear met with joyfulness. Time after all is all things. Lovely

This piece to me is a mere delight to read. It so vividly speaks in a language of the birds. I always just embrace the times when all the little ones come out again to bring so many offerings to us. Saw these two red chested birds they are quite large yesterday. I was honored they picked one of the trees in my garden to rest with the trees.

David this is one of those rare poems that is both beautiful and deep in its meaning. A great use of image and metaphor it is most somber and so can be life.

Now give me a poem of twilight and dusk, more so one as powerfully imaged as this; then ferment its grain freed from their husk🙏🏻🕊️

For me this poem speaks of its own ways of connecting dream and reality. It is almost like a rite of its own. It is a mystery to me weather or not you are writing about the fairytales of the firebird or perhaps this is something the muses wrote. I enjoyed the read!

I love this unique rhyme scheme that goes so well with this poem. The meter too is most helpful and carries the reader along on a drifting journey. Its mystical theme also sets the mood. Very nicely done David

A haunting poem David I loved several lines in this poem but my favorite was (Turn the log, it\'s warmth lies hidden,) such a wonderful metaphor. I think that the warmth of this poem lies hidden as well and I had to reread it to feel that wonderful fire. A fave

From quietude everything can awaken. I like this poem that tells a strong but also frail tale. This piece gives food for thought. In stead of analysing it I will just let the words wash over me.

This poem reminded me of an episode of The Twilight Zone. There is a wonderful line in this write (Some lit bright candles so the blind could see,) In this poem I see a metaphor of loss of natural truth, knowledge or what ever you wish to label it. The candles symbolizing man made truth is given for the blind to see. In our religious beliefs we associate our own power or prayer with natural occurrences the rising of the sun. Although this may not be the original intent of the poem it comes through to me this way.
