Yes to me this work , expresses what most poets strive for. Introspective personalities, and achiveing, the Higher Realms of life , in thought and appreciation. And yet be humbled by the results.

Dear Dimples, Your line "Very few breathe deeply as shadows gather" made remember that in times of strife, we sometimes lose those we thought loved us. Everyone wants to share the good, but few stand by us through the bad. Quite a thought-provoking poem, dear. Love you, Carolyn
