Wow. This is a very daring poem. I can see to some extent what it is about but is not quite clear. Very nice poem. Continue writing more like this! This is an amazing poem.

    Yes it is a bit abstract. It's about what I do outside of writing. I give readings so if you play hiccups on in my head whenever I do I give up reading stories always different. But the feelings are the same. You're fine I really appreciate it. I hope your days are sunny and life is good have a great evening!

This is a great spiritual poem. It grabbed my attention the first sentence, gone was I in the deep vacuum roaring of nothingness. I think you did a fabulous job expressing this poem. Your words gave a lot of thought and meaning to what I feel is taking place in our world. I enjoyed your writing, looking forward to reading more!

What a unique entry for the "My Faith Poetry" contest! "I am merely a phone booth." That's an interesting author's comment. True though, I think... We receive the messages, we (with any luck) decipher them correctly and pass them on through our behavior and with kindness...

I've come to enjoy reading your poem as a whole...and then going back to savor each sentence, gleaning the full meaning.

You have this gift of slipping a bit into "Yoda-speak"

"Not for corporeal eyes the door does turn slight shift right."

Increasingly, I see this gives your unique voice as a a poet some balance!

Nothing can be truer than your saying, "The veil between this world and the next is thinning every day and time speeds up."
We had two brothers and their families move to Western NC and our ward church from BC. They relate where they lived was eight-hundred miles North of our border and winters could cool to forty below.
P.S. - I would have left earlier.

Hellow phone booth.
The term stream of consciousness comes to mind.
I was dubbed a stream some poems ago.
So we flow in the same river.
I love knowing , a very ethereal concept.
Wisdom, understanding, then knowing.:-))Z.

    Thank you yes thank you very much for For your review and your comments I appreciate it totally. Yes I often feel like a stream or a phone booth or a conduit I will not filter anything that comes to me. I just let it fall out of my mouth unfiltered. Not everyone is receptive to that sort of thing thank you again hope you have a great evening!

This is hauntingly excellent! I know it is an odd reference but it makes me think of when I wanted to read Dante's Inferno in the original Latin. Your prose is a 1000 years old yet timeless and perfectly at home on a computer screen today. Wow!
