I may use up all my six stars on your writings. If you are not published you sure as heck should be. Very well written. A great rhyme and flow. I am still in that theater.

I really like this stanza: All life is weaved with threads and smoke,
translucent its solidity;
life buried by illusion's yoke
in veils of vast transparency.
I thought it would work equally well as a first stanza.
My favorite line, though, was: so rich with rustic dust of red -
I could say that all day long, with its marvelous sense of sound and 'r' alliteration. I hope you get a chance to read this aloud somewhere!

This beautiful poem about the journey of life hit me hard. I am one who sticks their head in the sand and pretends everything is good. I know deep down inside it isn't. This poem was like facing the thoughts and feelings I have pushed aside. Loved the stanza about youth when there was little history. Well written. If I had a six you would have had it. Gretchen

Excellent poem about human existence. I enjoyed reading it. Good imagery to guide the reader along.

Your rhyming is excellent and doesn't feel forced. It flows well.
