I would love to hear your own thoughts on the meaning hidden within this poem… For me, it is being out of your comfort zone, seeing things in a different way, being pluralistic… Empathetic and unassuming… Universal…
You’ve actually got it. “Another” is just an other me…
Lyrical, profound! To pray to another man’s god… the formula for world peace. And as always, you say it in a handful of well-chosen pearls!
Stay well!
Thank you mj for your thoughtful comments. Welcome back :-)
Greetings,
I like this. Thank you for sharing creating and sharing it. You’ve brought me to contemplate death, and that’s good.
All good wishes,

Thank you Robert. I may touch on the topic, but rarely contemplate death.
I like the line,”Another sun sets forever”.
Thank you Ranu. I seem to have this thing against having only one sun that we revolve around and make it appear so majestic. So sometimes, I do try to bring the sun “down to earth” so to speak lol. Here I have imagined what if there were many suns.
Yes what if,nothing wrong to imagine,Sonya!
