Inner Sanctum... (poem) by Diana Wiles on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on June 10, 2021

Wow! This is incredible. Your choice of words, combining images in unusual ways, forces the reader to let go and let their imagination run freely. Once I let that happen, I understood the pain, the release, and the cleansing transformation experienced. Simply triumphant. What a tremendous gift for that wounded child soul. Sincerely, Corrine Ardoin

I enjoyed this poem especially the second stanza. It painted a picture. I visualized it and it was great!

The line, "My body so receptive an instrument....." is the yellow highlighter segment in this piece for me, and all within this writing expounds those words. Centrifugal composition of great magnitude and mosaic reverence. "...exciting drum of Peace...." I love that. ~~ the other Diana

Beauty-filled piece describing the amazement of the soul in its innocent wanderings pondering the destiny awaiting within the maze of the mysterious universe we spy upon. Your soul wishes to grasp it all and be fringed by the caress of each soft dream that passes like magellanic clouds of galaxies that share their light onto your understanding.

All the combined beauty and strength and delicacy of a butterfly emerging from the crysallis, Diana. A song of rebirth and renewal. Hope is always this agent of change. Vivid and captivating streams of consciousness here. xx

Beautifully worded, mystical poem,Diana.
Even now, at age seventy-seven, I must take a mental look at myself to see where I am, where I want to go and if I still have the stamina, both mentally and physically, to get there and most, if not all of this is in relation to my writing and, I'm sorry to say, original writing for me looks to be a bit bleak. As for the world; I truly believe that I and those of my generation have seen the best of this wonderful country called "America".

Great writing, Diana

Oh, Diana, I am well aware of that inner freedom you so expertly write about, although It took me decades of guilt and pain to arrive where I am today. I'm happy for you, onward to a better life.

As for the world? I have serious misgivings concerning it. It seems we are on a path of self-destruction.
