    Koan,

    Welcome to P&Q, and I suppose you are an old member.
    I read your previous poems and this one, very interesting style, you use too much imagery and link visual images by very harmonic and elegant kind of language.

    Thank you for sharing, very interesting.

      Yes I am an old member returning I guess..
      I use lots of imaginary because those are the pictures in my heart and soul when I write a poem.. You see my poetry just trying to describe those pictures.. if it makes any sense...
      Thx for reading me GB, it means much to me!

    Hello,

    this is powerful. We are all fruits of the sorrow tree. All of us the same, yet we pretend that we are not or do not understand that we are all connected and so are responsible for working together to become fully connected once more.

    A deep write, and to be honest deeper than I can understand. Maybe like you state, I am naive?

    Take care,

    Michael

      Hey Michael! I think you understand this poem brilliantly!!! This is an oldie that I somewhat rewrite this week but this whole poem started when I watched a footage of air-strike that went wrong and hit a hospital...
      Thank you for reading me!

    I have to say, this poem is positively dripping in imagery - a wonderfully written piece, Koan. Well done.

    Its the journey of life where despair, death and tragedy resides, even more it pours out from the person who has witnessed and lived through this horror. The imagery in each stanza gives a deeper impact that when the reader reads it-it can be felt and seen. A touching write and the last line:"blind me with ignorance
    for it seems this is the only way to happiness..."

    How many of us turn a blind eye or want to turn a blind eye so that happiness only prevails but then living in ignorance to gain happiness is always short lived.

    Lead me through..what an amazing title. To ask to be led though oblivion. That's a very classy way of expressing one's self.

    It's a collection of paintings and images from title to the last punctuation mark.

    I felt every word, it is one inspirational poem. Gets you to think for a moment and redo your maths on life.

    Very touching. Well written.
