Thank you Eric! This bit a snippet from my poem Navel Gazing, the more serious bit in a guided brain flip tour ;D,

My brain and I thought tripped thru this read and still can't land. I feel I read a riddle that was a poetic tickle leaving me lost in 'WHAT's middle'. I've learned that I'm often floundering where others find total clarity, so it may be that or I may need to dust my depths. Either way, I recognize that talent mastered image with words - you! Poetry hugs ... CayCay

I don't think I could hope for a better response to this piece :))) It's the serious bit plucked from the fluff of my poem Navel Gazing. I'm not sure that piece would offer clarity to anything other than maybe more about me lol ;) Thank you so much CayCay! xomo
