Your title is brilliant, as is the theme (recycling) of the piece. I find the whole poem a tab laborious though - a bit like a too long shopping list. There are nonetheless, quite a few jewels dazzling between the lines. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Brilliant write. Shown deep thoughts and philosophy.. I am enlighten when I read it. Well done Enjoyed 10+
My mother would always tell me, 'There is nothing new under the sky' If she sees this she would say, 'I told you didn't I? ' well done
this reminds me of a story about a gold tried in the fire.... like a diamond on a black cloth... anyway, nice write as always
Good poetic demonstration of Indian classical philosophy in contemporary times. Hypothetical study of human brain-war between reality and unreal, between light and dark, between death and eternity. Furniture is gorgeously engraved with pearls and diamonds of etheral conceptions, so it will be very ecstatic to use a living furniture which is uplifted mentally from its material root. That is the realized human being who attains such truth by heart. Sometimes supreme uses it and sometimes the ignorant part of supreme (unrealized individual) . Thank you much for offering such beauty. One thing perhaps you have missed to mention......all such poems are the recycled poems of ancestors........ Enjoyed. Regards, 10++++ pranab
We must be constantly recycling ourselves. Food for thought.

Hi Niv, I enjoyed reading this poem...even if I had to read it a second time. I'm enlighten when I read your work. Its amazing the power religion/ beliefs can have on a society-'psychsomatic' explains it well. a 10++++++
