Ritual Of Alienation Poem by Soran M. H
Ritual Of Alienation
I hear the rustle of slippers
behind me
who is it
Following me, a little apart?
I turn and stare
I see nothing
just dry leaves
seeking their destiny
after waving goodbye
to the trees
The trees are silent
stiff in meditation
the sidewalks are frozen
the streets are empty
I wonder:
where will these narrow paths
take us?
All the rhythm of the seasons
is stopped
But the yellow rose
that smiled at the hum of bees
and cared nothing about death -
let us hope
life
still pulses in her veins
The cycle of life leads us to that ritual of alienation. It is inevitable. A beautiful poem with superb imagery.
Dear Rose Thanks for taking your time to comment on my poem. Stay blessed always.
P1/ Well said, Rose. In poetry, quality is more important than quantity. A poet should always ask themselves:
P2/ 'Does my text add something new?' If it is merely a repetition of ideas or an expression of mundane, everyday concerns, then there is no need to label it as poetry. Taking one's time and replenishing the well of inspiration are essential for producing truly distinctive poetry.
Soran's Poetry has always that lingering charisma and enigma that will make a reader revisit his wonderful work of art. A magnificent poem . Loved this line: ....just dry leaves seeking their destiny after waving goodbye to the trees.'
Very powerfully and movingly crafted with artistic brilliance.
