The "Hokjes" Spirit.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

The "Hokjes" Spirit....

Rating: 5.0


The "Hokjes" Spirit….

the spirit floats softly,
slightly upwards
then slightly down
bit right
and a little to the left

if you stay that way,
you may stay
speak softly
talk nothing
then you may stay,
you fit right in,

I never fit in!
not in this box
not in your too small mind,
and never in this "hokjes" Spirit….!

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Kumarmani Mahakul 15 July 2020

Sometimes towards right and sometimes towards left, spirit swings automatically, dramatically and mystically and amazes us in reality. Spirit fits at right place and does love to righteous duty. This poem is very amazingly penned. Spirit should have broad mind, broad vision and values given by God by his mercy. An interesting poem is well penned....10

A very unique and thought provoking write. A one of a kind theme that only a versatile mind can present and deliver. A perusal of the words of the great Poetess as regards Hokjes Spirit especially stanza 2 of this marvelous poem, I do concur absolutely that we could never fit in; in a just too small mind. Brilliantly penned.
