Give and Take

There comes a moment
when at the crossroads of life...
a need of poetry,
an encompass of one’s self
to give of and to receive.

Whole life is about "giving to get back" - the one that does not provide by itself, get nothing back. - Like your poem Harry, good work. - oxox / / Anne-Lise :)

It's not only true but absolutely one of the truths of our humanly life. Nothing to do with it, but must bear that's under compulsion in the system of life. Nicely captured, my sweet friend. Loved always, bl
