Written in one of your more, less common, pensive moods I should say...certainly is thought-provoking...makes an instant impression upon the reader. Excellent piece of original poetic endeavour, Andrea -- enjoyed! My very best regards as always -- cheers! :) john

I wonder will love be able to stay alive or will it die under those circumstances? Reads like a good contender for it raises questions. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara
