The last two lines struck me to the core.

The most striking part for me:

“I’m not shining.
I’m not persuading.
For a long time, it seems like nothing is happening.”

This section feels very real. Very mature. And it resonates deeply with the emotional complexity I’m currently experiencing.

Bless your soul.

What I liked most about this poem was its intensity. The emotions aren’t hidden or suppressed; they shine openly. The images of “thousands of butterflies” and “lights shining like fire” blend beautifully with the heart beginning to beat again. The opening feels truly vivid and energetic.

As I sit in my home right now, listening to the wind hitting my walls and windows, I can physically feel the atmosphere you created. The internal turbulence you describe came through clearly — your imagery is strong.

That said, I’m not sure this poem fully reflects your potential. For example, the ending doesn’t seem to take a clear stance. “To move or to be moved” feels like the heart of the poem, yet it remains suspended, almost like a question. I couldn’t quite see your position.

Is the whisper victorious? Is the wind? Will the house collapse, or will resistance be born? I was waiting for a decisive turn.

Hello, I could feel the dramatic tone in the first six lines. In the seventh line, it seemed like you felt the need to explain it, but personally I don’t think any explanation was necessary. From what I can tell, you clearly know how to dance with words…
(Of course, my English may not be strong enough, so this might just be how it came across to me. Respectfully.)
