A Lucid Glimpse Poem by Mihaela Pirjol

A Lucid Glimpse

Rating: 5.0


Present at the festivity of life:

no one!

For we live our lives

through the lives of others—

themselves with no life;

and thus we miss our own:

but, nobody knows!

When we are in love,

we have a lucid glimpse

into our own souls:

in those moments—we are alive!

However, most of the time

we are half-dead:

nothing much of importance happen;

but we feel important

giving importance to our lives,

and yet it is no more important

than that of an ant.

but, most of the time we are half-dead; nothing much of importance happen; but we feel important giving importance to our lives, and yet it is no more important than that of an ant.....touching and impressive expression with nice theme. A beautiful poem nicely executed.

Beautiful! I am delighted with the beauty of expression: ‘when we are in love/we have a lucid glimpse/into our own souls/in those moments—we are alive! ’ An adorable piece of poetry!

Only when we are in love, we truly live! This love needn't be the feeling we have for a lover! It can be the love for anything....for nature, our fellow beings, a hobby or love of pets! However a heart without love of any kind is a barren, dry heart! Quite philosophical!
