A most spiritual tribute to a fine, talented poet, Maria. The brevity speaks in long, ancient words encasing mortal reservoirs of wisdom. Lovely poem. Love and more love always.

A beautiful tribute to a wonderful gentleman, one who will always defend those in the right and speak for justice. Sad, some need to harass him.

A glorious Senryu dearest, Maria! You have touched the core of the problem for it is so true that "Those who live in darkness light is their worst enemy" Demetrios Trifaitis! May the good Lord show them the way to the path of light and love! You have humbled me dearest Maria with your tribute and music! Be blessed my friend! I thank also our friends who have shown or will show support to your writing! God's light will dissipate evil's darkness!
