"Take me to the moon"...that's where I am now after reading this magnificent masterpiece that is another Fav for me. "reach for stars obtain an aerial view of the world wave farewell to the land live easily a prospective granted by you are misusing beauty greet the passing clouds." I loved especially this verse. So pleased to read you!

A strong and needed message, my dear friend. Thank you for help us to overcome that which robs to world of the love and wisdom we may offer when mindfully sharing through our poetry. This reminds me of what Johnathon Livingston Seagull said, "Fly straight up and understand the meaning of Truth and Love." A FAV for excellence. Bill

what inspirational and uplifting words, dearest Sotto. Sorry I missed reading it yesterday. I especially liked the first verse and the last one. All we are to do is pick up the 'ocean of ink' and write...forsake our worries and soar high beyond evil and our inner defects. Reminds me a bit of Jonathan Livingston Seagull...soar high above the clouds where another dimension of wisdom exists. Gotta fave this one. Hope you're doing well...have a splendid evening,your poetess friend in Texas, Sara

This is such an easy write for me to comprehend. You write free verse so well and the opening lines in this really drew me in to read more. Seamless flow of words and you’ve states as always such profound truths which would get readers to reflect and ponder upon. I really love the lines “ evil will triumph if the righteous remain silent” so true but we still see so many staying silent in so many situations where one needs to not stay silent. “ reach for stars“ i love that stanza. Pleasure readn

This is such a deep and heartfelt poem dear Sotto. As always, your words are so profound & exquisite diving in the depths of wisdom.. And also some sombre emotions. How poignantly you've said that "If the ocean's water were used as writing ink for pens..of praise the ocean would eventually dry up before..in writing" Wow, I can feel those layers of darkness in the subsequent verse as well.. "reach for stars obtain an aerial view of the world" Perspective truly plays a vivid role! Beautifully done
