When I read a poem I look for 2 things. Can I read it with ease or do I have to fight the rhythm and structure and having read it do I care? If the answer to the second question is yes then I will fight harder for a positive response to the first question. My ultimate conclusion is, of course, irrelevant. After all who am I to decide?
Your poem is a yes/yes for me. I cannot provide an educated dissertation on the various rules and conventions that produce poetry. What I can do is express what works for me and why.
Your poem made me wonder- is the freedom of thought and the accompanying peace newly discovered? I don't need to know the answer. The important thing is that your words made me wonder.
Your poem made me wonder- Has the freedom of thought allowed freedom of action? Again, I don't need to know the answer.
Your poem helped me realize that true peace is internal and self realized. It is not a gift we receive from others.
I could probably go on but enough is enough.
Thanks sharing your heart with me.
