All I see of you shines and I don't know your story, but your poem creates a window where the readers sees with the same vantage point as you, the same sadness. It breaks our hearts (the reader) and we wonder if you can hear us stand up to cheer you on, with new mornings and new beginnings, and the fact that it's just not over till it's over. So lovely and passionate J. Thanks you for sharing.

I love the line "And how confusion becomes me." There are times that no amount of barricading can keep out the demons that play havoc with our well being. I really like the format that you used. Your imagery is taut and I enjoyed reading this. I look forward to reading more of your work.

Sadness held this pen, love, but it wrote such beautiful phrases: ''i remember ~ bright strokes of agility ~ and ninble leaps of assurance without thought ~ without .... gratitude '

- and even though grey memories seem to dominate, there are so many dreams yet to leak out of your darling heart.

oh, you are so good at saying sad and lost things...i wish i could open my hand and show you this gem of unconfusion and unthought assurance

[J]
