[Baby Ricochet]

That was a really beautiful poem pryde. Truly Romantic and everything.

[Pryde Foltz]

Not an 'R' rating … say it isn't so:) Thank you, Baby.

[Lady Glitter]

Nice reading of this soul-stirring poem. I especially liked the first two lines. Yes, it only takes a fraction of time with the right person to experience deep truths. Maybe that's why we know when we've met our soulmate. I don't know. I've never met one.

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, LG … he is certainly a soulmate but alas not of the romantic kind:)

Shadow is not only the footprint
But the pathway of stars
that is such a beautiful line in an equally brilliant poem

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Tammy.

[Frieda P]

I'm going to print this out and keep reminding myself of the positivity in your outlook Pryde...really love that last stanza!

[Pryde Foltz]

I'm honoured. Thank you, Frieda.

[Kenneth The Poet]

The shadow leads into the light that both scatters the darkness and is itself scattered in the darkness. This is a great piece, Pryde. A favorite of mine.

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Kenneth:)

[Pryde Foltz]

So intense and felt Sis...

"Shadow is not only the footprint
But the pathway of stars"

Those lines catched me the most, it is so true,
Without the hurt, and the pain, never will be true healing
True light, and I thank you for writing such a deep poem
So effortlessly, and highly empathic with your warm heart.
