To me poetry is not merely an attractive arrangement of words but a tool to understand myself n the world around me.I think we all need a spark of skepticm,of doubt, of self-enquiry n a courage took at our own conditionings.We should have courage to assess n reassess our intellectual,emotional,psuychological n spiritual beliefs.That is what inner growth is,I beleive.Life is too short to go on missing all the beauties n mystries of life.
