Alone Or Alive

If today left me..
       Would tomorrow be my friend..
                  Alone or alive..
            A choice not answered..
        Just a daydream in my night..
            Tasting my own breath..

Dear Michael, sweet lover of ours... I'm always looking forward to new friends... leaving the old ones ...is what makes life more and more confusing... your words your breath.. swim within my inner thoughts... I know how it feels to be alone and alive at the same time.... it's a voice only I can feel and taste... luv...pd

Wow the power of your words is exhilarating my friend! I am amazed at the depth of what you speak of! I've been there, oh yeah, I have! I've been deep, so I know it when I see it! Wow, Michael, I just love this incredible piece! Great Work!!
