Your critically looking at the various aspects and praising, wherever necessary, makes me feel as if I have a personal teacher in you guiding me as one would to a child. I owe this 'ability' in a major way, to you and ely, including Sonome. "illustrative imagery" jelled with "mental aspirations" come together in poetry. Thanx ever so much .

The windless night set up the expanse for me! I liked the part about the exploration and its desire. We must seek that which is seemingly beyond what we believe can happen. It must be done on a continuum of hungering and thirsting if we are to make the unthinkable, thinkable! Well done in illustrative imagery in sight but more importantly in mental aspirations! sam

Yes true, how we all prefer nudgets of certainty, be they however small. Just when we think we are reaching, something invaiably happens to subvert it and the entire progress, or promise, is relegated back to square one. Efforts, therefore, is our only hope against hope. Thank you Troosha.

A heavenly delight to read and in the solitude and silence of the night, mankind does stop to ask eternal questions!  Well done, once again.

Although I was riveted to the piece - rich and inviting - the close left me sad as it left me couched in doubt.  (I prefer certainty even if it comes only in small nuggets.... )  Well done, my friend!

Many, many thanks for your very sweet comment in appreciation, and it is immensely satisfying to know that my work is so well liked by one and all. But it does take a lot of time, in fact, more than what I used to take when I was writing prose. I am not a natural poet but I am enjoying

Honestly, you write THE most thought inspiring poetry. I read each line twice, to make sure I am absorbing it as I should. You are without a doubt a very intellectual and intelligent individual.

Aba, if you say the wind and the stars, speak of such then I will believe.  ~ this is a stunning portrayal of imagery and power - wisdom once again, written in.  You are on fire with your poetry writing Aba and I am enjoying it.  It's good to be reading your gift.  Ely  (oh and just for your information...I couldn't find things here from Bhaskar either; but in a bit of research he had a list of articles on this link: http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/106446/bhaskar_banerjee.html)
