Hi Jan! Came back today to have another look at this beautiful Monoku! I confirm the similarities, and yet they are also different. Maltese air must have something to do with it:) hugs // paul

Jan, I'm not familiar with Monoku but I do love the imagery - the contrast between light and dark, life & death that's all part of the grand scheme of life and eternity. Lovely poetry and thanks for teaching something new. Cheers, Terry

This moves me. I think of Poe and his secret admirer and the romanticism in that.

First Place! Fav. Even when you might think I am too busy or that I am not around. Even then I will feel your heart, know that you need a friend. Suddenly I will appear. That's what friends are.They love you unconditionally, they always hear the skip of a beat. Always your friend, always.
