Hello Mel,

As i read this poem I felt that each stanza was pacing towards the immense intensities of the final closure. Many things could be said about this write but I will just say I felt the journey, greetings and blessings,
Rianne

Dear Rianne,

Thank you so much for your response.  Yes, I am definitely on a journey. I appreciate you taking the time to read.

Dear M,

The timing of the write for me is impeccable. I’ve been in such a state of retreat and hiding the first and last stanzas of this piece were so relatable.  This poem had me thinking how mundane and unseen as well as unable to break the cycle of these feelings. The rhythm and rhyming aspect of this write is excellent. It moves at a great meter yet lets the reader feel the words and message.

Dear H,

I know that retreat. Sending hugs. As Rianne said it is a journey.  Sometimes it is figuring out how to go back to basics and remember who we are. Thank you as always for your kind remarks. Wishing you well.

Briefly spoken, strongly expressed!
Stay safe Mel44.

Beautiful piece. Not much of an analyst lol. But the poem flows and there’s a story of being lost and directionless. But it’s told in such an attractive way like I want to be lost in the message of this short though potent poem.

Dear Daniel,

Thank you. Lost without direction indeed. I think your "analysis" is spot on:) I appreciate the read and your kind words.

Hi Mel,

I recognise your words... I often get lost in the Mundane too, oh for a map, eh!?
You are capturing something we all feel from time to time.

Dear BITS,

Ah yes...a map! I imagine most people feel the blah sometimes and this would resonate. It seems to be endless at the moment for me but I have hope. Thanks for taking the time to reach out an comment.  Much appreciated:)

I think the most powerful line here is "nor desire for flight", representing an acceptance of where one is despite being uncomfortable. The only thing that drives out darkness is light - and we are light; therefore, when we sit long enough with our own darkness, we drive it out.

Dear Ahavati,

"And I thank Thee that darkness reminds me of light"

Yes, knowing that the desire exists but I am not in a place to benefit from it, can be quite uncomfortable. However, there is always the other side. From experience, I know I'll get there eventually. Thank you for the reminder of light:)

That's a really honest and relatable portrayal of feeling lost and disconnected. The 'emotional void' and 'mundane' descriptions are spot-on for that feeling of aimless drifting. It's a quiet kind of despair.

Dear Mr Black,

It is certainly a feeling of despair.  I appreciate you were able to interpret the emotional void.  Thank you for taking the time to read and comment.

Mel

This is me, every single night.

Dear SC,

I am sorry that is you as well.  Wishing you well in the mundane and hoping you find some fire.

Almost sounds like writer's block.  Could be a self-discovery of purpose as well.  The vague and mundane are like the literal scientific brain, in that it becomes physical repetition.  Also reminds me of a soul craving for life experience.  Overall, good use of language to communicate and relate on so many different levels.  I personally relate this as a spiritual struggle to drink in and be blessed from life experience with a stubborn refusal repented of.   It's a great gift to those who become aware and seek to be motivated to rise up from such depression and oppression.  This has semantical overview of interpretation.to be applied as subjective, but suggestive.  Great job.

Dear Connotation,

It is an overall lack of motivation and inspiration.  Absolutely a soul craving for life experience. I appreciate you taking the time to read and respond with such precise insight and detail. It is a spiritual malady from which I seek to rise above. Thank you.

Bless,

Mel

i think we all search for ourselves at times, well done mel.

Dear Jimmy,

I appreciate the read and you taking the time to comment. It is for certain that I am seeking.  I agree that many do, particularly those with a creative soul.

Bless,

Mel

A haunting and introspective poem that explores the theme of disconnection and lost identity.
Emotional void and discomfort
Spiritual poverty and searching...
Search and seek together with me am so lost dear poet.
