Thank you, Heyjude, for your contribution to these comments. This poem has been composed as an effort not so much to be critical of any personal, individual, party or cause; not so much to point out a mote or a beam in a nation’s eyes, but more so to inform us that all of us must serve as guardians of public trust whenever and wherever we sense and encounter the fault lines of government being made bare to the detriment of the higher and mor noble cause of Democracy.

Thank you, Symmetry 60. I equally treasure your extended comment as a voice of reason; the point being that public officials on both sides of the aisle must always be reminded that they are in the service of John Q. Public and therefore must be duly monitored in every course of action they take, be it for or against the will and better judgment of “We, the People.”

Thank you, kama77. Voices of reason everywhere in the word serve to unease the ill effects of social distemper.

Thank you kindly, rameshs.88917. One’s voice can, and should also serve its society as a monitoring agency.

Powerful ending, Jessica. The audacity to seek a world beyond our sight, beyond our everyday senses of perception, requires of us insight; what is referred to spiritually as discernment.

A thoughtful poem. In the eyes of the Beholder is ‘True Beauty’ truly defined. That’s why the proverbial saying that Love, as well as Lady Justice, is blind.

Susan, this is a truly insightful and inspiring poem. Don’t knock things that may be diminutive. They can often pack a cultural, social, ethical, spiritual psychological, intellectual wallop, as is the case with my charming wife who stands under feet in height, but whose character and achievements have surpassed many who crow about their own accomplishments, while she, in typical Asian reticence simply demurs.

A gentleman’s game of fancy that is participated in by most forlorn young men from their early youth. Is there a similar version for a maidenly lassie?

This poem well describes the constancy of the metaphysical alchemy of change in the classical universal tale of the serpentine ouroboros.

Indeed. Mark, well stated. We are all reflected images of humanity’s architectural psyche. We’re all connected.

Succinctly said, Luciana. A short online poem of mine reads something like this, if I may recall correctly: “Your tongue is a sword. Wield it with caution; or otherwise shield it!”

Mark, your poem’s message is timely for my sermon on Sunday, February 16, 2025 , as a church Elder in Valley Cottage, New York, which is entitled: “Repentance, Redemption, and Restoration) Renewal “ and which pertains to our showing grace, mercy and forgiveness to others in the same way that such kindness and such compassion is shown and given to us by others.

Your stanzas three closes thusly:

“Parting is never”… reminding us all of Romeo’s parting words to his paramour Juliet, in Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” as follows: “Parting is such sweet sorrow that I must say goodnight ‘til it be ‘morrow.”
