    Incredible write, Dah...the expressed grief of an absent desire is beautifully gut wrenching here. Your eloquence in this piece is masterful, intense, and tender all at once. Beautiful write, my friend. ~ w

    Your words resound with a hollow echo in this one...the open emptiness created by a vacuum...despised by both you and nature.

    it must be my silver hair that has made me delicate...thank you

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
