Poetry

I Don’t know 
that poetry can light
anything,
beyond a page -- 

when the world 
in a loop 
of dark lows…

Though Heaven hears Mother’s 
woeful woes, Freewill her nursery's
obstacle….

Great point to ponder, my friend. I don't know either... Perhaps a song can do a better job, music being the window to the soul.

It's up to people...Freewill -- but one sided is not enough. And there is no compromising with evil. Blessings my friend.

It grants a relief--not the answer to everything--especially when the world is in a loop as you say. Well done, my friend.

Hi Vijay; wise comment. Poetry can be wings and ethereal soaring, or, at the least, a relief valve on a pressure cooker, or vent in a smoke filled, fart filled bar.... What it can't be is, substitute for reality. Blessings my friend. Thank you.
