Re: # 4
In a nutshell this poem depicts state of humans. we compromise lot of pursuits and dreams for a automated living that doesn’t justify our essence as reflective human beings...we start becoming confined within restricted and automated domains that is not our own, which is imposed upon us by regulations of society...however at a certain point in life awareness about apathy that has confined us comes which enables us to channelize our direction towards pursuits which we truly crave for. Its all about rediscovering sense aesthetics that may bring in many realization which could radical overturn preset notions. So when this realization comes we break shells that have condensed our being and realize so many freedoms which lies witin our essence...the last stanza more simply states wholeness of the concept and it vindicates lot of abstract and analogous expressions used earlier

as the title suggests this poem talks about finding freedoms through minute intricacies and subtle intuitive reflections (smoky ambits analogous to mist which covers selfhood but often drags of inquisition could be pursed in that realm to find hidden routes) that may not seem explicitly prominently but they silently enable one to venture towards finding essence of confidence that could resolve aliments and allow one to hold on mantle which harbors so many unexplored dreams. consequently untamed confessions emanate which heals freedoms compromised
