"Minds casting dainty illusions on themselves." That's an interesting thought. The mind does create illusions in order to cope with life. Good point.

"Would its shadow follow to?" HOW PROFOUND! WHAT A BRILLIANT LINE! :D :D :D

This poem is so sad and philosophical. I loved all of the questions the speaker posed. Keep up the great work. :)

omg i absolutely fell IN LOVE with this one! great as usual, but the subject can make anyone feel what you were portraying. "shadow, aspirations, and illusions" great metaphor for death or desertion - "i will follow" that's so sad, but not in a tear-jerky way, more in like a heart-hurting way. and that's not a bad thing! nice, colourful language too - "what if the flower were to wilt? would it still have the strength to reach?" was my personal favourite! awesum job! :)

Such a beautiful poem! Bravo!

"How can we mix something so unreal

With something that is always going to be there?"

Awesome lines!! Loved this poem alot! =D
