Michael Just wanted to say Hi. Your comment box wipes out my comments. Perhaps I am blocked by accident. Loved the line. Just another man without wings who had a need to fly. Take care, SuZ

Hello Michael, HA! I love it, and i know the feeling... hey I said to much.. Just Kidding... disconnected from reason's not me. but, this reminds me of the poem my sister Skat wrote.. called "Girl Interrupted" probably the opposite. her theme, was stuck in a mental state of bipolar, after falling hard and could not move one... good going with your poem....LINDA
