revolution

the moon revolves
round the earth
and reflects the light
of the sun
it is seen by all
yet remains alone

:: just like the soul of the 'revolutionary'... who revolves around a cause... and reflects the light of poetic justice... oh, this post is profound... and talks to me deeply... :: i'm not a 'revolutionary' per se but i am working on something that might be somewhat 'radical'... :: i think i needed these words today...

i enjoy reading your reviews...often it seems like you understand what i write better than i do. this poem was actually going to be titled something more banal, but before i submitted i changed the title to what it is now...didn't have any idea why...

and good luck on whatever you're working on. if your writing is any indication, you have rare things to share with humanity; just try not to get arrested, or worse...

:: oh...this is not a 'banal' piece at all...it speaks about the universe...am so glad you changed the title... have you heard the famous beatles song called "revolution" ? ...

:: and thank you for wishing me luck... will do... as in will take all precautions necessary to not get arrested... :P :: am being super cautious and my knowledge of the law here really helps... :: and...of course thank you for all your kind words for my words and me... :)

i've heard it, though it wasn't on my mind when writing this. the lyrics are a bit esoteric; the fans were excited to hear a simple track in support of the counterculture, but instead of that got one that disavowed that struggle and instead spoke on the same level that Eastern religions have been for thousands of years.

:: ah... no, i didn't mean that it could be... especially since you changed the title at the last moment... i was reminded of that song after i read your reply to my comment... :: as for the other insight... i'll have to hear the song again... :: being an indian, i have some idea about eastern religions but i haven't connected them to the song yet... am off to you tube... right away...
