What did you win by winning from such a loss? Dear heart, may the poetry you have fallen into lift you up and, as therapy, soothe you. Your touching words went straight to my heart and I'd like to think your love knew of your talent. I feel you as best I can as now I am ... CayCay

Hmmm. More sadness pouring in on and flowing through a golden soul. You have the experience and desire to express your sadness with such real images. You also produce many. This is a talent I admire. A never ending stream. I am in a state of creativity shutdown. I may have an idea, but am too distracted to write. However, I am lucky to ponder some of these streams of sadness. Thank-you for being so true--it is so clear.
