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.

Hello,
While just clicking on one of your poems not knowing what I was up or in for strangely enough just today I made a similar poem. Not that the two poems are the same but they could connect. My poem is written from a very different personal perspective. YES I know this veiled figure or veiled lady. I have had encounters with this lady myself. Hence the topics I will not start to make any assumptions on this poem just letting the voices within the voids wash over like waves or winds. You have expressed much here in and between these lines. Thanks for sharing!

Hello,
From start to finish I was glued to my screen. Each stanza giving new ways into interweaving natural images together with human images. All varieties of tone season life lines family lines etc. And then again how interwoven is all of this as per today. How much nature do we have left within us as humans. A world of tranquil weather suits the summary well. You have a gifted pen! Much enjoyed the read. Greetings and blessings

One large metaphor broken into several component pieces this poem is quite deep in its meaning that upon first reading is obscure and rather cryptic. Sad and hopeless in its initial tone it speaks of alienation. This poem seems to end in darkness. Very well written

I have known people who until their dying breath will depend their kin no matter what heinous crime they have done, it is not something I understand and it is loyal,but I am not sure it is love and to the benifit of the person commiting the crime or the denier, enjoyable and very interesting read

How much does love override? In fact, what is love? Is it faith, loyalty, passion, kindness? All questions that seem up for grab in this poem. Lovely
