Actually, I'm not talking about death. But I want the reader to make his/her own conclusion on it, so I'm going to keep the real meaning behind it secret :)

although the word "towards" can be said to have 2 syllables, it is more often attributed one. Also, it is more commonly "toward," but the dictionary has adopted "towards" as acceptable. I was just checking to see if you obeyed all the rules ;-)

I feel sort of like this is a story poem about someone leaving... to travel east. On the other hand, the East makes me think about the rising sun (yadda yadda). You're moving back to China (or are there already), so maybe you're talking about your unwillingness to leave. However, I think that in the end you'll find that happiness (the sun) will rise where you're heading.

Id have to agree with the others, I think you did an excellent job at writing this poem. Well done.

Well it seems like some one needs you in the east at first you dont want to go maybe because your leaving another behing but you go anyway to the east because maybe thatbeckon is far more imporant
Take care

I really like this... what i felt when i read it is the east is calling you away from the pain and bad circumstances that you are in right now... but leaving them and goin east is just as painful as the situation you are currently in

How enchanting. "The East" is one of the esoteric terms which I have not the courage to divulge in publicity. I, however, admired how you've written this work of art on the whole. It further reminded me about the seeker of Truth traversing the Obscure Night to reach/find the Golden Dawn.

A fine work, nonetheless. I hope you all the best with wishes of Peace Profound.
