When I first read "Diluted" I was going to say, "nay" we are not diluted...I don't want to be diluted...not me...however
as I read and re-read this classic poem...I began believing what you were telling me...and the reality of it all...is that we do dilute and wane and eventually fade away.
Dilute, if you will...A very powerful write and not only did I love it..........I felt it.

Speaks so much fine wisdom here and balances it in some fine context that makes it great....excellent :)

This is awe-inspiring, so sublime. We do seem to be overly-focused on the things that don't matter. This rises the most poignant of all questions: purpose and answers by illustrating human insignificance and our inability to truly capture anything. We never truly experience. We live in a shadow realm no matter how much we achieve. This is nicely brought home through the images of centrality to the triumphant crowd, applause and the eulogies surrounding death.

Somehow I hate the idea that we are diluted--don't you think poetry undilutes?

you are not only a good poet, but a great philosopher, and satirist as well, nice job

this was breathtaking...it has a 'spoken' quality about it. I would love to hear you read it to hear your emphasis and inflection. This is so pertinent for today too...where we dwell on so many things that just don't matter at the end of the day...and the things here you have hi-lighted, touch the heart deeply and truly move the soul. Thank you for reminding us to 'feel' with this poem. I believe you are a poet that could change the world...if it was your calling to do so. :o)

I love this...life diluted...spirit diluted...ego diluted.. you have left me to think about these things:) A true write... thank you... xx

You write with truth and passion, this world seems diluted nowadays. Love never seems as pure as it once was. Great poem.
