    Poem Commentary

    This poem...is an expression of the entrapment of life through social unfairness...the person here is submitting himself to nature for healing and of seeking council if there is still hope...Nature, a compassionate mother to her ailing child...

    In the night, I wander

    I wander once upon a dreary night
    and stop in a tree
    to rest my weary body
    The compassionate embrace
    of the trunk in my back
    Somehow warms me
    against that freezing memory
    Thinking it over
    will only sway that sharp blade
    Into my already wounded heart
    Whom time can't even heal

    The oak tree understands me
    For many a years he witness
    that kind of weight
    Carried by a trapped soul like me

    The nights silver lamp above
    lessen the thick sorrows inside
    By thawing it with her light
    Her looks filled with empathy
    shivers and softens me
    As if she's sorry
    For seeing my gloomy heart
    Just like the way
    She dimly sees things at night

    Fresh breeze from the dark
    Dilutes the smoke
    Curling darkly in my mind

    Crickets in the night
    help to cry my heart out

    And I can't help
    to put my gaze above
    To listen to the language
    of the twinkling stars
    Where they loudly speaks,
    "Hope remains,
    While the heart is still throbbing!"

    Hope coming from unexpected places. Nice. Even in the dark of the night the person is widely aware of their surroundings. Perhaps in times of torment and rejection our senses are most heightened...? ["Hope remains,While the heart is still throbbing!] - Indeed. Determination always has a chance to burn again. Enjoyed the journey.

    indeed...It is easier to right a poem coming from the reservoir of your experience...just add a lil' drama and here it is...:)

    stellar, Such tender self-expression and heart-on-the -sleeve confessions in the night and under the silvery moon. In a sad sort of way this is an erotic piece. ginga

    That's cool dude, I dont know if it's intended, but veary poeish. If it is kewl!

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
