CONFUSION

poem 2 :Confusion

" They came and left,
Both time and tide.
And I feel a void inside

Like I have been deprived,
Of opportunities,
Yet blessed with tidings
Both bad and good,
Received with equanimity
When they arrived.

I know not
To mourn or celebrate,
I leave it to you,
Time and tide,
To show me the way,
Or lead me astray"

Observation and Review

This is the second poem from the collection of honorable Poetess Shruti Goswami's recent booked named as "Another Soliloquy " .The poem is so simple to understand by the average reader, but its simple words are so powerful, these will take you to high altitudes 

Literary criticism or evaluation of individual appreciation of each and every poem is equally vital like the evaluation of its theme, analysis, description, or interpretation of poetic inspiration. It is usually in the form of a critical essay, but in-depth  reviews can sometimes be considered literary criticism. In a way other, when we look at the aesthetic fulfillment of poetry, you have to recognize that many modern poems are enigmatic in the extreme, and this quality is – let’s be generous – not the result of incompetence but a deliberate choice stemming from a particular aesthetic.

What does that aesthetic consist of? Let’s step back for a moment and consider the qualities of language that poets and readers pay particular attention to. I would isolate three dimensions: diction, rhetoric, and form. Diction can range from colloquial to elevated, rhetoric from plain to figurative or ornate, and form from relatively unstructured to tightly structured.Criticism may examine a particular literary work, or may look at an author's writings as a whole. As truly confused and unsure as you may feel in those moments, you’re not. You have much more clarity than you think.

“They came and left,

Both time and tide,

And I feel a void inside”

Readers are requested to re-read the above lines again. You have a lot more clarity than you think. You see, clarity is what you are. It’s what you’re born with, it’s your true nature, and it’s what is always there underneath the mess of confusing thought that sometimes dances on the surface.Confusing thought is there in spades. Being lost in your own personal thought is what produces the feeling of confusion.

The feeling you call confusion is a big to-do that’s created in your mind when you have all kinds of conflicting thoughts (for example, do it, don’t do it, take a chance, why fix what’s not broken?) and you seriously entertain each of those as if they are helpful or important.You innocently treat those thoughts as if they are each deserving of consideration just because they happen to be there, forgetting that thoughts are just blips of energy—they don’t possess qualities like “deserving.”

Real as it seems, the confusion is an illusion. You nearly always know what you want to do—but you have too much thinking about it all too just go with what you deep-down know.
