This is a very open poem. It was written from the heart. I like the music and the picture and thought they were a nice touch. I enjoyed the flow and found it a smooth read. Thank you for sharing.

I like your poem about sins of fathers-comprehending. Free verse and a nice flow. I love the colors and picture you chose. The video was a nice addition.

Well done. Having faith has been very helpful to those who believe. I liked the poem and if read with an open mind, will be understood. Sins are something we all carry. Good job.

I was thinking about your wording and how to the man it speaks. Trouble brews left from the Fathers of old. Yet we seek peace for our souls but we must be defensive from the unknown

Yes yes and the wind blows to and fro eternal. may your leaf gallop triumphantly as warrior steed and your spirit soar as King Salomon's, balancing might and wisdom when to use it...merciful as a feathers fall is graceful....-wink- love Michael

You've written a poem in true depth of humanity. Many new generations are not the same as their forebears but must bear the sins of the fathers, as you have shown in this well-written and interesting poem.
Looking for more......Joan

Comment from Joan E.
I relished your fantastic images from the "chaff/violin/shadows" to the "excrement". You nailed it with "life and death's lack of choice," and your use of alliteration plus repeat of the first tercet intensified your message. Thanks for sharing the act of "comprehending". Well done! -Joan, from sun-soaked, southern Spain

Hey dear Michael!
I just dropped by to check on you and how I felt glad to have the same prayer as yours "thank you God... I trust you...forgive me my doubt."
I've just watched PK (Bollywood movie) and how I cried because it's a good movie about faith and religion. I love it! Then I saw your post and prayer.
Thank you for sharing! Miss you! c", Mae

Michael,
This poem, though I feel is an extremely spiritual and emotional expression of gratitude when in times of doubtand feeling the weight of the world over much circumstance left the narrator bewildered and filled with doubt over the presence and loving hands of Providence time proved beyond a shadow of doubt that God's ways are not our ways and he is faithful and all that He does the ones who are so mild in spirit ,humble in heart and faithful in love are the very ones that are like innocent children who are oftentimes beaten down in the process of living by the very ones who profess to have God in their hearts. this is a travesty but it is the miles in spirit and the broken ones is that he will vindicate in due time in his due time not yours not mine his as he promises. you have brought this out and this poem with many exceptional phrases. Your poem speaks to the whole of
man on every level. in times of unfairness are doubt seeds in our heart and we feel as if justice will never prevail but as I said in as your poem shows all you have to do is stand still and see tge salvation and true integrity and honor of the God who one has put all his faith in. Beautiful work and beautiful song. Just like you beautiful heart and beautiful soul. Driving out of darkness into the daylight..
Love you dear sweet man.

They reap their consequences now....and I know I am loved and always have been my at least One. -smile-....God bless you jimi....love Michael

Well you are loved by me in every way. You are big in heart, with a beautiful mind, a humble soul and so damn cute. So sue me for embarrassing you but one can't help who they love. Love you Jimi

I meant to tell you or express that you and I , regardless of what the future holds for both of us, WE have a very special bond on a level that is very hard for me to comprehend much less anyone else looking in. You are a man with a soul so beyond soulful. We will always always be true friends even when we disagree. This has been proven. You are so valuable to me for there are not many friends or men with as much heart and honor as you have. I will always respect that in you and can only hope toi emulate your character and it would be God's divine grace that my sons should be the man you are. I would be so very very proud of them, though I am very very proud of them now.
Thinking of you always and hope you are happy. Much love to you Michael. Hooe you will forgive me for anything I have done to hurt you.
Love , your faithful friend always Jimi.
Hope we xan share good memories over a glass of wine one day.

Love how you repeat the first verse as last. Gives it a haunting, melancholy feel. A number of lines really stick out on their and don't need support, such as "war songs sad as mother Russia's birth & soulful heart lost waves to wanders sound" Awesome! Les
