Stay With Me... Poem by Daniel Brick

Beautiful poem Daniel. Really enjoyed these soft expressions and urging of a loving heart. Thanks for sharing.

With a positive outlook, we can turn our adversities into opportunities of goodwill and prosperity. These words are so meaningful- 'life turns into love and love into wealth'. Thanks.

part 1 Here the poet used in very technique way the metaphor of sleep. By asking this question, we reach some secrets of this powerful poetry: If he was sleeping, how did he know all these things happened around him? Who told him? Unless we say 'sleep' here comes as the opposite of its meaning, even the poet in the last stanza stressing this point when he said (eyelids closed)

(eyelids closed) part 2 , meanwhile there is room in rhetoric for a multiplicity of readings and interpretations, I have the right to say perhaps he did not mean by (I am still sleeping) himself, or actual action of sleep....etc, and that is what always the great poets do, to keep their texts open for ever As Octavio paz did,

Stay with me when North and South are no longer true directions and East and West have plunged into nothingness. Stay with me when hope dissolves into despair at the knife-edge of awareness. Stay with me when your dreams are too distant to be seen and your nightmares moan beneath your bed.- - - - - Love is the strength in time of despair.

A beautiful poem of encouragement and hope during dark days. Better days are ahead and beauty is all around us a bad day is not a bad life.

Life is meaningful when light is shared by the loved ones at times of dark days..Nice poem
