This is quite a prayer, and such a tender resolution, I love the warmth, the humanness, the sensitivity.

Smile ~ And yet amid the same time I am hoping that this is merely a moment of creativities flowings from "Your Brilliant Pen Dear Lady;" either or as I have just mentioned; "Profound & Beautifully Stirring" ~ I hope that life is treating "You" wonderfully I pray, "Priceless Carolyn Devonshire" and, "My Love & Warmth to You Always, & All You Love," John! ~ Smile, "Have The Most Magical of Days Dear Beautiful Carolyn, Wrapped Within Love;" Bye Precious Lady!:) ~

Hi Carolyn, I love the positive resolution you have written for beginning a fresh start. Everyone, at one time or another, must stop, assess their life and its direction, stop, recharge, re-set...and go in a new and better direction. Much said in this wise and emotion filled poem. Thank you so much for treating me to dinner last night. It was a true delight to sit and visit with you. I will try to see you in September. Love you, Dane Ann

Great truth revealed in this beautiful Senryu with the touch of despair but hopes prevailing to keep the life rolling. Brilliant piece of writing my friend from your beautiful and seasoned pen. And many thanks for your lovely precious comments on my poem Evening Music of Nature. Love and best wishes always....Ravindra......Carolyn Devonshire.
