WOW!!! I especially love...For when the strands of life begin to break We start to learn how much a soul can ache and the last part. Again, WOW!

I can only say wow...the strength and passion is so quietly dressed in hyperboly, but must the maddness say anything at all, at least if we choose not to listen?

Jakitz, this incredible poem has special meaning to me. We never know how much time we have left, but we have to accept all of the broken strands along the way. The last line is especially thought-provoking. Congratulations on your first-place win! Love, Carolyn
