Ok, now I think I can see. The funny thing my friend...it is always out there, waiting, the beautiful light, you just have to WANT to see it. I know, so much easier said than done, especially when the wieght of sorrow is piled so high you can see nothing else, but it is there. This is cool my friend and I don't know why, but I have suddenly become very emotional responding to your poem.

The soul soaking in flourished flowers, is that all it takes to be sane. I'd never be able to thank sanity since I lost that address a long time ago, this has a lot to do with denial it seems, surrender is always the hardest part. Much food for thought here, well done xavier, saving this one, just in case. ;-)

The pleasure was mine, I can relate on so many levels :-)
This poem carried lots of deep thoughts that leave you pondering on and on... many words lingered in my head, and many made me read again... I like your rhyme schemes in your poems and this one in particular... so much to learn from you :) .. job well done.
Wow. I like how you represented sanity with a flower soaking the sun and other harsh elements( denials and rejections ) representing the soul of all individuals where we seek to be in unison with nature and the universe to go back to the original state......Keep up the great work , sir...In my library...:)........

With sincerest depth, I believe that nature instills sanity at birth, but we mature away from it, learning to lean on our own understanding. Some of us are lucky enough to have a moment of clarity and be returned by grace to a state of understanding that nature intended for us. Some of us lean our own understanding long enough to reach the gates of insanity. Peace and balance are synonymous with nature.
