And I've Learnt That Myself.

What's that aura that I sense?

Open my eyes, guide lights through the lens

Form an image, something clear

For understanding is what I fear

Freewill is at our hands

And we keep taking our routes

Imagine how different it would have been

Now it's just a seed who became dried fruit

And it makes me wonder

I can't help but think

Have you grown wise to realize,

What you threw off the brink?

But it's all too late now

As I was just an option

So don't drag it back

From under your skin

A lesson learnt in time

Is what it is

That chapter is written

Don't reminisce 

Just look ahead

And don't fool yourself

As nothing is as easy

And I've learnt that myself.

Hm. This one is intruiging. Very well done, mystical and true you wrote purity and honesty with amazing word choice.

[Coyote Poetry]

I enjoyed the complete poem. So much wisdom in the poem. Lessons, good and bad are to make us wiser and stronger. We hope. I like the common sense logic of this poem.

And I've learnt that myself.'

i like this a lot.
the first stanza is kinda like taking a picture, which is nice imagery. it's a great way of describing that you were sensing, as you described the "aura"
and i like in the end how you you tie the last line into the title of the poem. sharing what it was that you learned.
i feel like the first stanza and last are crucial to the poem, but the other stanzas aren't. i understand if you feel them necessary to accurately describe the purpose of the poem, but i definitely think you could take two out. i think it would make the poem clearer and the purpose more concise. but that's just my opinion and i am one for short sharp poetry.
as it is though, a longer poem, it flows and is structured well.
great job!
