As someone who has set with someone dying, I understand this. Mystery wraps each soul impending journey transcends.
This is so true.

RJ, this was a piece flowing with adjectives and verbs. You have written a creative piece, my one concern is it was a bit difficult to pinpoint the emphasis because of the rapidity and condensed manner the before mentioned is set out.

It is certainly challenging and you have done a great job. I marveled with the consistency and rapidity of the piece, just a little worried about the pressure points and speed.
Best wishes,
RGstar

    Thank you for you kind review. It was a challenging poem for me, had several re-writes, was hoping it would have good movement throughout. RJ

interesting poem with some vivid images, but honestly I didn't really enjoyed the flow of the poem - but it might be just me, so look what others think - i could use some better connection between the lines - make them fluent.

I like this poem. Your poetic alliteration was on point. And have a good flow within the scheme of things. Keep writing.

I loved this acrostic poem! You found just the right wording to make it really flow, which is rather hard in an acrostic! Good job!

Your poem left me in a conundrum. I could not capture the pun of your poem. However, I was captured by your words that led me to ponder the meaning of your words. Great poetry causes the reader to question.

    Thank you for your comments. Life puzzled me and I wanted answers to 'Why'. As I watched my cousin leave this world, I added part of his thoughts into my poem. For me it is life beginning, turning point, and an ending here, however your soul is not gone, it continues to the next life. Sorry that may have been too much. RJ

This is i indeed quite a journey but the beauty of this piece is we see the beginning of the second journey after death as 'mystery wraps each soul' in that eternal voyage. Well done, RJ.

This poem explores the challenges of human existence,of coping with an uncertain present which leads to an all too certain future and that posessing spiritual capability we are also victims of instinct.It Reads like a journey through life itself.It Flows well,though perhaps create dreams in line four could be swapped around to dreams create to enhance the rhyme without losing meaning.It Is excellent how living in a conundrum is written down the side of the poem.
