Daniel Turner Poet Sonnet

Anything Is Possible

It's possible, I've lived and died before. 
My restless soul, a wand'ring vagabond
Arising swiftly, only to abscond
And cheat the soul collector at death's door

Each time, departing without memories
In search of a new life, awaiting birth
To have another human feel it's worth
A guide, inside, to lead one to their knees

It matters not to me, what you believe.
Beliefs are confidence in what's unknown.
There is no guarantee, except for death
Acknowledging a soul, a chanced reprieve
Into this world, from nothingness, we're thrown
Returning when we take our final breath

Suzanne Delaney April 17, 2023 at 4:22 PM Dear Daniel: , What we know about computers now maybe we are just living in a simulation.

Frederic Parker April 13, 2023 at 6:47 PM That is an exciting way to explain what's possible, wouldn't it be interesting to find out, think about how we may cross paths again 100 yrs from now on another poetry site Daniel Turner April 13, 2023 at 6:59 PM Who knows Frederic, you might be Shakespeare, born again. You do write a damned good sonnet:) Thanks for dropping by. Always good to see you. Be well:)

Sotto Poet April 11, 2023 at 11:34 AM This is a really well-thought-out and articulate response to one of life's most perplexing issues. It doesn't matter how you look at it; the data is equally weighted regardless of your perspective. An excellent Poem Daniel. Daniel Turner April 11, 2023 at 2:04 PM Thank you very much, Sotto. I really appreciate your insight and your support.

Ann Peck April 9, 2023 at 10:58 AM A very lovely poem, Daniel. It's a gentle thought that we might return again and again. It's one I choose to believe, but with questions. For example, how can we improve in the new life if we can't recall how we erred in the last one? Anyhow, your writing flows beautifully. I loved reading it. Daniel Turner April 11, 2023 at 4:31 AM Thank you, Ann. I have no answer for that. It's all only conjecture anyway.Always great to see you.

Maurice Rigoler April 8, 2023 at 8:46 PM This is one of your best, Dan, with great expressions. Well done. / Maurice Daniel Turner April 11, 2023 at 4:29 AM Thank you, Maurice. A very kind thing to say.

Lisa Ricci April 6, 2023 at 11:49 AM Hello Daniel. This one entry alone defines poetry with all elements attached. It also has excellent expressions such as "the soul collector" "it matters not" and "from nothingness, we're thrown". Both your choices and placements are the executions of a skilled writer. It was an honor turning to your page. Blessings always with a toast to possibilities. (smile) Daniel Turner April 6, 2023 at 1:31 PM Hello Lisa. You're so kind. Thank you for your support. I hope you're having a great day:)

Sara Kendrick April 5, 2023 at 3:31 PM Some do believe like that, but personally I think we get one chance. I enjoyed reading this one. You are good with these sonnets. Thanks for sharing and dropping by my page. Sara Daniel Turner April 6, 2023 at 1:30 PM Thank you, Mrs Sara. It's a contest poem. Never said I believed it but it's possible (IMO) Always a pleasure:)

Mystic Rose Rose April 5, 2023 at 8:38 AM It matters not to me, what you believe.

Always my pleasure to see you. I appreciate your supporting comments and your time. Have a great afternnon. You look great!

Bill Baker April 5, 2023 at 8:27 AM Great entry for the contest, Daniel. It's also gives the reader a lot to think about. Well stated, with a great hook of a title.

Kelly Deschler April 5, 2023 at 8:18 AM This poem leaves the reader with much to think about... And, I agree with you, anything is possible, even reincarnation... An excellent write, Daniel, and very interesting! Daniel Turner April 5, 2023 at 10:12 AM Thank you, Kelly. I appreciate your time and honesty. Since nothing is certain but death, it is only logical to explore every possibility. Great to see you. I hope you decide to return. Have a wonderful day.

Yann Rolland April 5, 2023 at 6:28 AM i agree, anything is possible, a poem to be considered and read, personnaly, it depends on days, sometimes it is yes, sometimes it is no, i appreciate the deep and thoughtful poem, thanks Daniel Turner April 5, 2023 at 10:09 AM Thank you, Yann. I appreciate your comments and your support. I too have my days of doubt. Great to see you. Be well.
