Impact.

Light shines in darkness,
To bring a bright vision.
Sound sounds it's soundness,
That man may hear its words.
Beauty isn't for fashion,
It makes men appreciate nature.
We men as living creatures,
Can also be here to impact our world.

This one is difficult to interpret. It seems to speak to man's potential, saying that men can impact life as much as nature does.

Thank you so much, John.

I like using contrasts, which you've done well. It surprises me how much I love the 3rd line (usually I do not go for repetition, but your underlying msg is thought-provoking, so it isn't mindless repetition for emphasis). Overall your msg brings to mind my own personal preference to focus on the natural beauty of a person or any living thing . . . I find some adornment to be a useless distraction (I never wear makeup or jewelry, etc.) You've left this poem open for interpretation (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Your poem speaks to me of choices. We all have the ability to choose not only what we do, but how we see the world we live in.

I like your view, Kay. You see the world through the lens of hope, and that can lead to wonderful places. It can also help to sustain you when life (inevitably) gets tough.

I enjoy your forays into philosophy. You start a conversation. Good work, here.

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

Many thanks, Eilis.
This your wonderful review set me on another miles of thoughts.
Really appreciated.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

I agree with the sentiment in this but man must make a conscious choice to make an impact yey many choose to remain absent. Thought provoking piece.

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

Many thanks, John.
I really appreciate your review.

[Robert Trakofler]

beauty is a state of mind good Kay when we achieve it the beauty is truly everywhere and we can replicate its shimmer:)

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

You are right, Robert.
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful point of view.

beauty in nature, beauty in humans...we all can bring a light to the darkness if project love into the shadows of being...
really like the alliteration in line 3...
no beauty is not window dressing...and the beauty inside of us...certainly not for fashion...
really like where you went with this piece...and you allowed us to take our own road through it.

In this poem, I like your perspective. Good job!

As far as being here for a reason, I believe that this is
simply human ego telling us this: it's defective information,
the reliance on being here for a reason.

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

Thank you for your point of view, DAH.
It's really well appreciated.

[DAH]

My pleasure.
