Mystery
Binding together is mystery
Like you and me.......
That makes me think
The meaning of love
And the bond......
No night without darkness
No day without light
Who owns darkness?
The night or our Satanic mind
Who owns light?
The day or a loving heart
The odour hangs in the air
But only dangling, no belonging
Who owns scent?
Flowers or the lasses
The eye does not own
Once the tear is gone
Who owns the tear?
The eyes or a pining heart
No rainbow seen
Once the colour is gone
Who owns the colour?
A ray of light or a ray of hope
The way leads us on
We leave it and walk away
Like a canoe in a ferry.....
Do we own time...?
Our all-time friend
Still....
Can we be free of time....?
...........free of space...?

SO many questions about this topic and I guess, I would think that the answers from person to person will be as varied as the questions themselves. Great job.

I immediately felt in good company with your wise verse, since I am familiar with the wisdom teachings of your country, especially advaita vedanta, of which your words reminded me ... for me, these teachings are the anchor that keeps me stable and grounded and that prevents my boat from floating whimsically in the great ocean of worldly illusion ...
I guess, we westerners have a lot to learn from those traditions and from the people who apply them in their daily lives ...
the first step is already to ask ourselves : "who am I ?" and "who is the doer ?" and truly trying to find the "one" whom we take for real and to whom we are so attached ... only to find that there is no-one home
...
thank you so much for this refeshing and enlightening piece of poetry gifted to this contest so dear to me ...

Good Poem
-
Like you, I'm often interested in human bonds. Sometimes, I think people forget that everyone feels the same exact way that they do; only others express their feelings differently.
I liked the questions you asked in this piece. You had some great metaphors to compare some human situations and reactions to; great job.
The last two lines were great; summed up the piece nicely.
Thank you for entering the contest; this is a good poem. -

thank you for appreciating my poem.i believe grammar is not important in poems
-
Well, the philosophy is heavily appreciated. I base all my poems off of philosophy and infuse it with various other themes. Great ideas, well presented, but your grammar needs a bit of help. ^_^
