There are times when we are doing something and we are very confident in ourselves, but those around us put us down and tell us to give up. In times like this we must think about our goal and why we started (the light) and realize how far we’ve come and say that we have come too far to turn back now. We must be fully invested.
This poem describes the fear of Christina Georgina Rossetti, not from death but from the fact that her lover might not remember her after she is gone.

“Wild Geese” is an attempt by Oliver to inspire people to be true to themselves and nature rather than run a never-ending race to be perfect for people. And that “you” are not alone with a life full of despair. There are millions, and you will definitely find someone to share it with. You just need some patience. This is also and attempts by the poet to promote human connectivity.

This song is a very famous song from the play Cymbeline. It simply means that you need not really fear death. Death is inevitable.

Rootless Life, by J. W. Cassandra. The poem I wrote yesterday morning and haven’t put into any of my volumes. yet. The versions alter a bit from each other in Hungarian and in English. The poem itself refers to or echoes somewhat my old short story, titled “Rootlessly”. It was written in my 16-year-old age and I gained with it an invitation to the 1st conference and meeting of student-poets and that of writers, held country-wide. There had been there 50 students at all of them. And I’m in a deep sorry for loosing the short story, so I decided to share this “echo”- poem…
