The length seemed daunting at first; I couldn't stop myself once I started. And I thanked myself for starting. Brilliant work.

This is absolutely sublime, we can feel the emotion through those brilliant words and totally successful photograph choice. Amazing, keep it up!

Truly magnificent, I was checking out to see if I should post some poetry on here... this is very encouraging andd bought out so many emotions.
 I don't think my poetry will come close to yours, but I'm so glad I came accross your master piece. Thank you for sharing x

wow!
I love reading the lines other readers pick out as their favorites. i spotted several but landed on these as my #1 favorite:
*To your blinding hair of sun,
to your searing skin of snow,
to your scent of home,
to your sound and din
of kin.*
A love poem - lucky the lover who hears such words!

Dear @geekorner,
While sipping a strong cup of coffee I was taken on a global journey of the senses through your lines. The Western sun is tough for me to resist, and so I was hooked at the outset. I experienced a minor moment of confusion when I found myself suddenly under the sea, yet that state of pondering provided anticipation (with the support of photographic imagery) for future transitions. This stanza satisfied 2 questions: Will there be a southern excursion? What is the title symbolism?

*Your will has taken me,
three-quarters of a circle.
And I turn around.*

Congratulations on your poetic accomplishment!

*With the whale's mouth I call to you.
I am deafened by your resonance.*

Wow Thunder.... really wonderful, and the above lines stood out with a resonance of their own.

Nice sir

Good post 👍

Lovely poem.

It's very interesting and lovely poem . Beautiful work dear . Thanks for sharing .

Namaste

This is the greatest gift and it is truly epic! 

The immersion is intense and fruitful -- poetic entanglements of woven vessels before the morning light and into the day, before the song of sunrise when all is silent but for a promise, the birth of something new on the horizon.
Yes.
The day is breaking and I hear a sound and smell sweet woods burning, wafting as I drift closer in from Solitarius Isle, from the void I see...
<3

Amazing. Some of these verses reminded me Wallace Stevens, you really gave me 10 minutes of peace thanks!

This was a bit of a page turner.  For n epic, this poem was very easy to read.  I liked the intermittent use of rhyme and felt that it added to the metaphor of flight and movement.  It's a good write.  Congratulations on the selection.  Well deserved.

Every so often, there are words that stop you in your tracks, and you have to be silent and merely appreciate how they dance on and off the page. WOW.

*up shall we soar through the sky,we won't stop and can't be stopped by the thriving storm because we are freedom and the sky is our point of view"

Your poem is really exciting and educating and it's lengthy which is really hard for a lot of poet...... Awesome!

Fantastic poetry @geekorner and (epic is definitely the word)at 158 lines it's the poem that just keeps on giving &#128521;<br>
But seriously, I love the imegery and the use of poetic devices in this piece. Particularly, the personification of animals to show the journey/feelings of the poet-<br>
> From the dark depths I rise,
I am seeking,
I am searching,
for a sound,
for a hint of light.
A hollow roar,
as I seek to draw breath,
I surge higher,
breaking the waves.<br>

Really nice!

(you hear an engine rev and horn honk) 
    **MEEP! MEEP!**

    "Hello! I'm @shadow3scalpel and with the help of my protege, @chairborne, we are actively assisting veterans, retirees and active servicemen and women here on Steemit.

I love the sense of movement and hope in this piece, especially these lines: 
>East,
I scent your spring,
South,
I stalk your summer.

Initially, I was intimidated by the length (that's what she said?), but found that the sense of journey kept it moving. Well done, poet warrior!

So nice 
If you read it  that time you feel like You part of this Poem

>From the dark depths I rise,
I am seeking,
I am searching,
for a sound,
for a hint of light.

Can't help myself be empty for a while and just read again and again that line. It's just remind us one thing, there's no any reason for us to be scared of for what tommorow will bring, may if we are in the very deep trouble in the present, all we need is to rise up and search for the new beginning, coz theres no reason to stop for there are a lot of unseen things this life may offer!

Thank you so much for the poem. It really gives us refreshment.

`followed` hope you'd followed me back. @thesuesej. And can visit my blog.

Im also writing my first poem. Thanks

Your poem has a deep content, I think it is very well worked. I congratulate you. I invite you to know my blog in steemit.
