The last line hit me, you truly delivered a kicker. Made me want to visit the beach which is only 15 min. away. It is of much matter/meaning that you send 'sad' away. All you long to feel again, each person you wish to see again, awaits you. You are wanted HERE for now, but the time will come when you'll wear a joyous and complete smile, feel loved and soothed - spirit wanted me to tell you all that. Meanwhile, keep gifting the world and Soup with your poems and unique poem comments. CayCay

Dear victor, youv written as always a very descriptive poem and one that paints an ambience any reader would like to be part of. I love the flow and also the quote youv used there. And i must say you have a way with words, i hope you would never delete your poems, amidst the paint and challenges life might throw your way. Please keep sharing and writing as poetry is a form of catharsis and writing is healing. And soupers appreciate you truly. Pleasure reading. Sending you light always
