I love the spiritual quality in this lanterne, Brian. I think you have mastered virtually every poetic form, including some I had never recognized before joining Poetry Soup. Your influence is greatly appreciated. Love, Carolyn

This is a wonderful sermon, Brian.! It is a good reminder of what is to come and the choice is ours to make. We are very much on the same line of thought! Thank you for your kind words, always! Love, Robin

Very thought provoking Lanterne. Thank God it doesn't entirely depend on how we live but on the gift. Nicely done. Thanks for your comments on my simply written work. Keep writing. Sara
