MoonBee..... (large sigh) this poem...... reaches so far into the labyrinth of my soul ..... it's like you are a palm reader of the soul..... I felt every line! no space here to elaborate... from the bowels of gangland to rescue my sister, to pinnacles of corruption, I've been there, and yes, now the Lord forgives me, (my poem 'forgiven' was personal!) thanks again, truly a fav of mine, your friend, jimmy james jimbo goff

Light poetry, MoonBee, but a knight of a story. Very good job, I am sure James will like it. Sincerely, Love, Moses
