This is, hands down, my: This is, hands down, my favorite of yours! I almost don't want to touch its ethereal splendor with analysis or personal commentary because its truth shines impeccably on its own. My lack of expression, my breathlessness, trust me, is my homage to this sterling tribute.

Simply wondrous, brilliant Poet!

And that is where you live untainted or rather unaffected, this made you impervious to minor fears
And hence we are re reminded of bones with no flesh and no warmth, lifeless, but daisy chains triumph through the vortex of mind peace overcomes and with boldness gentleness arrives to conquer with hope and love
Stumbling on a vase handed down by grandmother
Used rather to store a deceased cat rather morosely yet pehaps daisies wore it [vase] better ! Yes YES Yes yes yes I liked it alot! Thanks for the fruit for thought.

This makes me so glad that a: This makes me so glad that a poem would intertwine with thoughts and memories and feelings, gathering to itself within its Reader what brings meaning and validates our existence, perhaps poetry then could be our soul within another soul's "shoes," walking that extra mile.
