I am very doubtful with this one.

It is her last hours,

yet her face showed defiance

against the inevitable.

As the pain complained,

she recalled her past,

How glorious were the nights,

When her song summoned the gales

to caress the flowers, and in a subtle interaction

they bloomed as a symbol of hope against

all odds.

She’s not afraid of the path ahead,

death is to be understood,not feared,

yet she wanted to  live,

For the flowers, whose passion for life,

inspired her to sing on.

For the wind, who spreads her song in

distant lands.

For the night whose ethereal presence,

filled her heart in swoon.

But one has to accept the flow of life,

satisfied by this thought,

she began her last song,

her voice pale as it might be,

carried all the sorrows of the world,

when the first ray of the sun

 touched her face,she calmly went to rest ,

only the remnant of  of her voice

echoed in the winds for centuries forth.

    You definitely have something to say here Miraj but in places…this piece is fragmented and dosen’t flow…it is easy to fix if you are prepared to take some advice…get rid of this line: “I am very doubtful with this one.” ~ …’Nothing inspires good poetry like good poetry.’…ever heard of that saying my friend? It means you should read several of your favourite poet(s) pieces first…then…position yourself under a good light and write your poem by hand…when it’s completed…read it aloud again…and again…and again…get rid of any unnecessary words or words that don’t ’sound’ right. Be careful with adjectives and adverbs eg. Graceful white gulls hovered lazily above the shimmering blue sea as the glistening, golden sun beamed brightly (too overdone)…imagery, rhythm and meaning are elements I personally look for…and simple words can convey the right meaning without having to use flowery, elegant words…and refer to a dictionary/thesaurus if you are unsure of the grammatical meaning of a word. Feel free to delete this comment Miraj…and let me know if you rewrite this so I can leave you a more satisfactory comment :-)

    I really liked the reality shown in the message of this piece. Even when accepting the inevitable we can wish that the good things of this life had not been cut short.

    a magnificent poem. I so enjoy your poems that paint the picture, the detail, and very much so the feeling of the poem.

    a great work
