So many have gone, but I hope not soon for you, Jack. I liked your wistful poem.

Dear Jack, your evocative imagery drew me into the center of this wistful and poignant scene.. the sad beauty of your rich emotional brevity captivates my heart's imagination completely. A deeply moving piece, my inspiring friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
