poem written for Unseeking Seeker's Awaking from Stupor Contest 1/12/2024 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Something has happened; something has changed. Something to portend; perception exchanged. A door has been opened; another has closed. A feeling amended; another exposed. A state resurrected from silent subconscious deep; awareness once neglected no longer asleep. Past passions renewed; an emotive rebirth. Vibrant, joy now imbued with tear-stricken mirth.

"awareness once neglected no longer asleep." When real awareness comes, a rebirth happens and joy emanates. The possibility of another door opening when one door closes is so very comforting. A beautiful poem dear Sara and congratulations on your great win!

Your The poem suggests a rich exploration of the past, with passions renewed and an emotive rebirth taking place. The use of vibrant joy now imbued with tear-stricken mirth creates a poignant image of the complexity of emotions in the face of transformation..

Your poem is about the transformative power of change and the renewal of emotions and awareness, dear Sara. The subject revolves around the experience of something significant happening, leading to a shift in perception and emotions. The diction in the poem is straightforward and accessible, with a focus on conveying a sense of renewal. The word choice is evocative, like "perception exchanged," "emotive rebirth," and "tear-stricken mirth" creating a vivid and emotional atmosphere.
