The beginning

...Start

Imagine--This page blank, yet all thoughts speak loud and clear.

Picture--if you can, seeing but not thinking.

Envision--Life without words; No talking, nothing but white noise.

Visualize--A single person, all alone on this Earth.

Contemplate--not knowing death, names, color, fear…

But--Think of discovering all of those things...

As if man had never lived at all.

Such a beautiful commentary you've gifted us in your Author's Note, Gabi.
You truly are, not only a talented writer of poetry, but a considerate artist, as-well … thank you for You!

First, Gabi,
I love your succinctly chosen title to perfectly befit the moment of this poem.
Then, you've posed some rather abstract, but highly conscious, deep-thinking suppositions for us to deliberate and conclude … in the end, without possibility … what I consider a conundrum, but I love it; for, it delves into and reveals some of the the wonders of your more philosophical, intelligent, and playful bent. No average being created this.

In a technical sense, I'd like to see you experiment in a variety of presentations (aligned left, for instance), playing with line-breaks, etc.
Whatever, the manner in which you lead each verse with a directive is sheer genius.

Gabi, I love it, what else to say … big hugs! ⁓ Richard

Richard,
As always, thank you for your kind words! I just changed the formatting, because I think it flows better, another tip taken from your wonderful advice :)

You are welcome, Gabi.

So approve the formatting here... clear yet beckoning, no over.cluttering, mere fine phrases and each one with a deeply considered moral or gentle nudge into... re-thought. 'Envision, Contemplate, Visualize; long words followed by shorter, gently chained continuity. - or perhaps i mean, plumpness, fullness.

You write so well and invite your reviewers to absorb with their own discretion or whatever. I have, i do, I find this an inspiring write to be honest.

I like it. But it needs more cool profile picture in it. O wait YOU GOT TOO MUCH OF THAT. So anyway I mean the only thing that really matters in these comments is my rating. Lets be honest. Envision. Thats the stupid word, i couldnt figure what i was trying to say and i still dont. One more tonight. Bye.
