Dear CayCay, As I read this, I thought how raw and unfiltered, distilling deep sorrow into a stark, poignant form. I like how the progression feels inevitable yet beautifully expressed. Even in brevity, the weight is heavy, felt, and understood. A powerful piece. Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
