From Ignorance to refinement

From Ignorance to refinement

A Poem by Balkaran Sidhu
"

Introspection stuff....

"
I am an ignorant person 
I trust blindness and silence
Yearning to be a prodigious scholar, 
To experience the awareness of the intellectualism
Of the highest order, to return to innocence.

The star of knowledge asks me to go
To the benefaction of the cyclic moon 
where I will learn the secrets of surrender
The self-oblivion of divorced selfdom
I try to encompass the flaring perception.

My spirit surrounds decadence
The identity of the integral, the fugue of time
All have mortal meanings
Taken from the aspect of all perspectives
From those fields that I know,intimately.

I try to learn the cosmic importance
Of tenderness, immeasurable empathy
My solitude only cares for that
In the brutality of life's  disarray, limited metaphors
Grinding oppositions, colossal repetitions.

I like the whole poem but one thing i think u could work on is the word layout and sentence structure, maybe you could of put your words in a different order the poem would have better flow and articulation to it. Also, our minds automatically reject any clashing word phrases, making it harder to understand and less appealing. But great job u have a good vocabulary

I really like the subject of this poem. The path to enlightenment of sorts is always the most beautiful thing to read about, and the awareness that you have of yourself and of your surroundings in this piece is refreshing to read. Keep writing. thanks for sharing.

I like the depth of thought displayed. I didn't like the word "benefaction", it seemed to protrude. "The self-oblivion of divorced selfdom", this sounded awkward, just this line, the flow of the rest of the poem was fine. I did also think it needed a little bit more visual input for the reader to affix their mind to. Really enjoyed reading it.
