Poem Commentary

I've been perusing for new writers and readers. I discovered a little of that, but more than that. Some I expect will be a lasting delight, others will be a fanciful night. Still others just leave me with unanswered questions. This is my prayer for them tonight.

The Vanished

Quant sparked moments

            Are for all time

Short moments of brilliance

            Flash onto dark times
 

Scraggly twigs engulfed

            By the fire

Only ashes left behind

            Carbon for eternity

Fuel for the souls of life

            That flourish in the light

Ever grateful that at crossroads

             You remind us of the night.

You have me quite intrigued with this. Some of us are the Fire? Some of us are the fuel? And some of us are just witnessess? Ha ha This make me think, and I'm not used to that : D

'Short moments of brilliance flash onto dark times.' That is the way of creativity I've found. At our lowest points comes our brightest moments to allow our emotions freedom to manifest themselves into words. Very creative write. A ten from me.

A flash will last a short time, but when a roaring fire is ignited and stoked, the soft glowing embers that remain will last indefinately...

Poetry is what is lost in translation.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
