This is an excellent write! "No guide, nor a map
Only a voice that says yes
Lost until found
Upon conceding...no digress" Oh yeah, that's great!!

what I am about to say to you is something I do not say lightly at all because Emily Dickinson is my favorite poet in a very special way - but your poem reminds me of her in both structure and tone - I really can't let you know how high that praise is, but this is most lovely and profound.

It's a beautiful poem. I like the flow and the rhyming scheme. I like the way you punctuated the last line of the stanzas, very nice.

This one has quite a spiritual feel to it, as if it is guiding the reader to a place ... that place ... where they can be free of life's worries. Nicely done.
Take care,
Nita

Decent rhyme scheme. Yes We can!! lol..The middle verse could have been stronger. Little more detail or expansion Other than that good job.

Enigmatic and intriguing. I read it twice and think I know what you wish to impart, but I am not sure If my imagination is supplying the crux of it. This is wonderfully ambiguous leaving lots of options for interpretations. Thought provoking and ironic.

Love these lines:

Imprints only made
After humility...

No guide, nor a map
Only a voice that says yes

Warm Regards,
rama devi

It sounds as though you made tentative steps, but with encouragement went down the "path."

I liked the use of "hallowed" and its repeat for emphasis, as well as "trampled," as contrast.

Thanks for sharing your personal victory.

    Joan, there have been a couple of paths that were made tenatively, yes! And it's just as personally liberating to MAKE a decision as the actual outcome itself! Thank you for your review and specific comment on the contrast. Much appreciated........Sue
