thankxx for reading all my words.. the contests challenge my mind to a degree where I must create a new piece... it has energy and drive behind me pushing my pen to write.. and then so easily come the words.. as easily as luv making ... perfection ....Michael...

Overwhelming, Michael.. once upon a time I use to linger on visions and thoughts of loved one always being reunited... I'm sure I'll find it again... but believing is all we got... I also love your compassion in your poetry... have a nice one...p.d..
