    astral planes in oceans of ether while soaking-up heaven’s clear preservative, voiceless and timeless, seeking the tangible, physical energy of being: a life opens itself these lines were my favourite. nice write!

    This poem once again is all you, deep inner self reflection of a being. I fell for your 3rd-4th-8th stanzas & of course your ending, meaning of life...:)!! a 10 for me, great writing.

    Wow! i am just blown away by your words here," Once I was somewhere as if this time is not the first thaw of life", I felt that deeply and knowingly. "Believing in more than this illumination" yes indeed I do and everyday that passes am further convinced. Thank you for these words and for the confirmation that stands within them.

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
