Rating: 5.0

Believe me it takes courage to plummet

Fay ......unto thine own self be true....... It takes a life of living to see what really matters....this poem presents that view knowing yourself, knowing what is important in life, knowing that giving is better than getting, knowing oneself honestly......it's a kind of zen moment. Difficult subject, no place for a novice. Thank you Martin

Fay, this is brilliant, I love the way you drowned the ego and then summed up with... 'That only by thinking for how or why, will you emerge without any my.' This is going in my favourites. Thank you Fay I don't like it, I love it! ! Bob

There is an underlying philosophy of Krishna consciosuness in this piece - the search for how and why overcoming the 'I'. It's not too petentious to believe that Freud and Jung might admire the sentiments expressed here, not only in the well-chosen words but in the silent spaces between them. A moving tribute to the only emotion that really matters.

This tremendously well written and emotionally inspiring poem comes as close to touching one's soul as does the romantic Rachmaninoff Second Piano Concerto touch the soul of all who hear it's incredibly uplifting melodies and heart soaring themes, Fay. Your final verse in particular has that same grandeur that is produced by both the first and second movements of that remarkable piano concerto. This may be the best of your poems that I have yet read. Carl.
