A desret rose and just a rose blossoms in the depths, in the oasis. mind, its depths, its peace of the oasis and in the midst a lovely rose. these are the imaginations in my mind when i read your poem. very poetic. thank you

Thank you for your comment.However, poetry is the highest form of written words, and therefore, is open to a plethora of interpretations.It isn't necessary that the readers interpret in the same way as the poet feels.On the contrary, a reader may bring out an entirely different angle of the same lines which the poet might not have envisioned.Wisdom varies, and the use of metaphors is not to test it, rather to compliment the readers sense of feeling and connecting to the metaphor in their own way.

@Shruti Goswami, Metaphor well explained, thanks! But please also remember that poetry should be easily understood by the readers. This is not an intellectual exercise where readers are subject to wisdom test.

There are two aspects shown here.The entire poem speaks of the awakening of the mind, its blossoming.The blue ice denotes the frozen winter that melts at the touch of inspiration to reveal a clear mind.Blue ice is also the ice formed when snow falls on a glacier and is compressed.Therefore, it also denotes a state of limitation and compression of the mind which is freed by inspiration.This is the explanation of the metaphor used.

Blue ice, wrapped in fire, Melt as the mists rupture I did not understand the metaphor. If you can please explain?
