this is such a profound and deep write dear beautiful sara, i thought of it in a way like, theres so many poets, that only express through words written in metaphors and rhymes, and sometimes we dont even realise or notice what someone must be thinking or feeling until we read or hear their poetry. I love your word choices and presentation too! As always! Impeccable

thanks kind, Ink, for visiting and for your comments and insights. True, I sometimes learn 'stuff' about others through their writing--'stuff' wouldn't have otherwise known. So much power and compassion in words. Have a pleasant Monday evening, Sara

Completely agree. Sometimes we do not notice what is really going on around us and an artist or a poet can bring it to our attention. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

Dear Sara, This poem is a remarkable and awe-inspiring piece of literature. I can connect with the emotions conveyed through your carefully chosen words and vivid imagery. Poetry, in its essence, is an extraordinary fusion of a gentle perspective and meticulousness, allowing us to recognize and appreciate things that may otherwise go unnoticed or undervalued. Blessings
