Sorry for the delay in my: Sorry for the delay in my reply; but, as always (and despite my delay), I am very grateful for your kind words of encouragement and validation.
I can add nothing to what: I can add nothing to what Patricia has already written in her comment . . . except to say, enthusiastically, that I agree with all of the comment about this excellent and profoundly beautiful poem.
Ageless and unshakable: Ageless and unshakable devotion crystallized in the most elegant form.
The musicality of each billowing, heart-clutching line is absolutely spellbinding, while the theme of unconditional love—a love that not only accepts what the world calls flaws, but adores them as well—is the closest thing to Heaven on Earth. I could hear, as well as feel, its ascending Truth surround me.
What a gift to your loved one! Superb.
With penetrating insight and: With penetrating insight and a grasp of succinct elegance, you packaged an undeniable message. Everyone should read the stars with such wisdom!
It's not easy to pack so much: It's not easy to pack so much perception and beauty (Worthy of the images, no less!) into such a compact form, but you succeeded in Starward style. Magnificent!
Love this poem.: These are both fantastic! Glad that I felt inspired enough to write today as I wouldn't have had the pleasure of reading them otherwise.
Your statement, that this is: Your statement, that this is an amazing time to be alive, is both very observant, very accurate, and very wise. And I applaud you on all three of those aspects. As a former history major, and maybe a little smarter than I was back then, I am beginning to believe that every era, present and past, is an amazing time to be alive---for those who are alive in it. My grandmother was amazed to see transportation evolve from the railroads through airplanes, and then to the space shuttle---in one lifetime, hers. And I imagine that most people were amazed when that same transportation evolved from saddled horses prancing along footpaths to iron horses gliding along steel rails. Our existence seems to be designed to find wisdom in the lessons of the past, and amazement in the events of the present---whether those events are personal (like a deluxe pizza during a good horror movie) or cosmic (like the observations being made by the James Webb telescope).
Thanks for making my afternoon brighter.
I have to laugh at myself a: I have to laugh at myself a little bit. Initially, I definitely misunderstood what you meant by "..I was checking out a father at the bookstore.."
Anyhow : ) A wonderful poetic story with with both the wisdom of years and the heartful nature of understanding. Among which, the idea that the teacher sometimes learns from the students is one to which I, too, can relate. In sense, I suppose, we all can.
Mhm. To be alive, in itself,: Mhm. To be alive, in itself, is quite remarkable. Can only hope that many more people get a chance to exist and experience it.
You're welcome - thoroughly enjoyed and further enriched by.
This is actually an amazing: This is actually an amazing time to be alive but there are a lot of people determined to tank the party. Thank you for your kind words
Step up and take it.
Words: Step up and take it.
Words said in faith have great power,
Even to move mountains even if grain by grain.
Just a mustard seeds worth is all you need to begin
A heart wrenching poem, calling for deliverance pulling forth empathy and a desire to assist in what small way one can. The emotion is palpable. Strong write! Blessings Ss
Quite an ode, quite a: Quite an ode, quite a lookback through time, at a timeless connection to your soul. Words deeply drenched in all of the reflections and emotions of a history that give them meaning, and then baptized again in that which lasts beyond the ups and downs and falling's apart - love in it's purest form, and an equally purified appreciation of all that one has gotten to experience with another. It rings to me as an honor to what was, and can never be taken away.
