I listened to a stranger,
Still chewing, mulling it over;
In my mind.
Unseen message carrier,
Crack this rebel pride further;
brittle rind.
Softening now to others,
From your critical word favor;
Please unbind.
Unseen critical censure,
Release, soften and surrender;
Voice I sign.
Conception to finesse process,
I am not you, nor you me;
Timid inspiration-
Agree to disagree.
Within, without this world over,
All life, youth, ancient older;
Listen, find.
Composition and creator,
Your understanding furthered;
Give free rein.
Adieu unknown giver,
I accept the challenge to flee;
A narrow mind.

Great lessons we learn from life. people come and go. some remain with us as true friends. some go away. some are thre for a certain time.. all for good. the reasons why they came into our lives, we do not know often. we shall not judge anyone. fill the heart with goodness and go forward united with God Almighty. tony

A wonderful poem that inspires us to take lessons from life's experiences. Well done!
a bit tricky for me to follow, but i believe i did follow it enough to get the gist and perhaps more! i like the sound of it as i read it silently. i like when there is a Poet's Notes. but, unless you don't mind me finding typos, you might do more proofreading. JUST a suggestion. hee-hee. bri :)
