Very tender and loving nature, Alexis. I love this monoku. Ty for sharing a part of yourself w/us. Your poem reminds of a scene in "Terminator" when Linda Hamilton gently caresses Michael Biehn scars on his back and chest. And Michael Biehn says: I've always loved you Sarah Connor. I traveled across time for you. Very tender cinematic moment for me. Love your work, dear. Much love to you. RW
