Till Hearts End

By: Chayasi Suntophiphit

           Chayasi Suntophiphit is one of the most talented and creative authors in poetry in Thailand. He wrote a great poem entitled "Till Hearts End". This is a poem which gives you a point of view of Thailand's culture and religion and how the author shows his adoration to his religion. This literary piece mainly talks about the divine law, established by Buddha since Chayasi Suntophiphit is a Thai writer and the religion he follows is Buddhism where they believe in the divine law.

           This poem has a wonderful meaning that gives you greater faith in your religion. And, not only that, it gives you motivation. That our God is here and is guiding us so whenever we feel like we're walking to a dark path, there is always a "LIGHT" that is there to be with us. 

           "Till hearts end" is a literary poem that pictures the elements of light and darkness, death and life, loneliness and happiness which create the wholeness of man's journey towards his Divine Creator. The elements of poetry and devices used figure of speech (Simile) like "Words like drops from heaven", "clear light inside me", "pushes the wild , heavy night back". This poem used the meter form device with free verse line and stanzas  and refrain method like "Through the sky splits and crackles" and  "Though a rooster's hurried crowning jars my ears..." Elements that made this Chayasi's poem most appealing to the readers and created some depth of understanding regarding the poet's culture and environment. Think what Chayasi had in mind then begin to feel your hearts beat.

           REFLECTION: 

          This literary piece exemplifies the goodness his Creator and with that goodness, we, His living creations must do the things of Heaven while still here on earth. What good deeds we do now could be the implanted seed to grow for tomorrow. The good influence we have today could be lived  by the next generation to come. Life on earth is a mixture of happiness and hardships. Both are essential components of man's fullness of life.  The personification, the earth swings in circles, meaning that life has its ups and downs. I recommend reading this poem. This poem is really worth reading for.
