One can not be afraid to progress and improve. We do this through belief and determination in ourselves and a willingness to expand our knowledge and our sphere of experience. Through our drive to become more than we are a willingness to learn while having faith in ourselves not to be afraid of change and progression outside of comfort zones is the key to this I think. A wonderful poem my friend, I love it. :) I hope you are doing well? :) x

[HaleyMary]

Thanks, Warren. I think you're right that as long as people have faith in themselves they can progress and succeed at anything they put their minds to. As far as outside of comfort zones, I agree with that up to a point. I think it depends on the situation people find themselves in. I mean, I don't think people want to be in a position where they feel like they could be in danger of their health or their life. Thanks for the comment. I'm sorry the reply comes late.

Nice.I got rick rolled.

[HaleyMary]

Glad you enjoyed the poem. :) Not sure what you meant by Rick rolled, maybe if I had started singing one of his songs in the middle of my poem, but all the writes I recite are my own work. Thanks for the comment. :)

Oh my, you have over 6,000 views on this video in under a month, that's amazing! And well deserved;it's a very nice poem!

[HaleyMary]

Thanks. :) I honestly don't know why this poem is so much more popular than my others, though. Seems I got a lot of hater comments on this video when I first posted it a few weeks ago. Not sure why that is, but I'm glad you gave me a nice comment. Always appreciated. :)

[TheRoadHome]

I think you are interesting. I subscribed.

[CalgarSkull]

YOUR REALLLY PRETTY!!!!^^

Sorry^^

Good job, I overanalyze the meaning of everything all the time and it FREAKS me out!!

[ThorsDecree]

I <3 it.

Fuck those haters below. That's really good, and I just happened to run across it whilst in a philosophical conversation with a friend on politics, ethics, and specifically genetic research... Thank you!

[HaleyMary]

Hey, thank you. :)

This isn't really so much a philosophical poem as it's mainly just imagery. glad you enjoyed it, though. Thanks for the nice comment. :)

I'm not quite sure what the video is supposed to be about, but you are far from being an idiot, and all of the hate filled responses.

[riderpridester]

You are an idiot.

[818gregd]

You are ignorant with a closed mind. It's sad that this everchanging world passes you by.

go n suck a cock

[Desplow]

Get a decent video and audio recorder and I may actually watch. It's like three times lower sound then all other videos.

[bralen24]

Poems are sooooo fucking lame.. could u be any more geeky? lol.

[bbiillaakkooss]

really nice poem!good job :)

[danbit5]

i felt like one of those birds that hover, lookinh at the green and blue,grass and ocean? sun light,wanting to go but not to be blinded,contented that this earth is my home ares,but still there is a mystery as you said is wisdom or knowledge going help of the bigger picture,will we get exploited like those that invented or were able to split the atom,the goverment used those things as last resort,not as scientist intended.anyway im not a scientist but i like your poetry:)

[HaleyMary]

Thanks. I'm not much of a scientist, either. I tend to think of my poems more as philosophical than scientific.

[sportsbetting101]

Great poem. :)

[oliviadreamcatcher]

wonderful as always. I often dream of people who have moved on to the next stage. some had gone when they were invited and others went because they couldn't handle the traumas of this world that we live and made their decision to go. I feel those who are invited seem to be on another level to those who are not invited. those who are not invited seem to become more lost.

[Rikotistic]

I like Debs analogy and description. There seems to be a tiny bit of hesitancy in your words, that the outer world is frightening. For me it was that way for a long time. I surrounded myself with books and movie soundtracks along with pen and paper, then a computer. Black holes swaller all light, and darkness is silent and lonely. Sometimes to reach the light of sun, one has to find their own light and when it is bright enough, good people will gather and listen. I love your writing. Keep it up.

[HaleyMary]

Didn't really think of the poem quite like that. It was more just imagery, but looking at the poem again I can understand where people might see a metaphorical meaning to the poem. This is why I like to post. It brings different perspectives to the writing and makes people think. Thanks for the comment. :)

[debswildhoney]

Ah, facing earth - out and back again, like a painter who paints close to the canvas and then does the all important stepping back to view the overall picture, only to return to being intimate with the canvas and colors. Your poetry paints pictures.

[HaleyMary]

Thanks, Debs. Yeah, I try to put in lots of imagery in my poems. Kind of makes it a little more interesting without just some scientific facts or philosophical ideas, not that those aren't interesting, but I like to try different styles with my poetry sometimes. :)

[Brianswers]

Nice! Have agood day Haley!

[HaleyMary]

Thanks. You have a good day as well.

[dontleaveyet]

Blue light always makes me think of light sabers in star wars! :)

[HaleyMary]

Interesting. I hadn't thought of star wars while I was writing this. I don't even watch the show that often. Guess it just has that space theme to it, eh?

[dontleaveyet]

Yeah, poetry can tell a lot about a person I think :)

[sweetqueento3]

Pretty! Your poems are so visual~I like it:D

[HaleyMary]

Thanks. I try my best to put in imagery in my poems. This is a fairly old one. I wrote this a couple years ago, so honestly I didn't think it was that good, but I guess I can never tell. :)
