Oh, Brian, this one is special in a bounty of stunning images sweet as honey itself! "Forgiving mis-steps that neuter success." What an amazing line - showing not telling of spirit robbing shame! Congratulations on your win. This is indeed impressive! Blessings and cheers!

Thanks for sharing such a "vital" message with us through your unique poetry, Brian. Your chosen words and phrases are true and comforting. We all have times in our life experiences that these thoughts are needed for healing and encouragement. Thanks for sharing, I'm following your poetry now. Well worth the time to read what you have to say through your poetry. A poet friend in Texas, Bill p.s. I forgot to mention I'm saving this one on my FAVs list. :-)
