Even as adults, we sometimes need to be reminded of this lesson. I love "if someday/you turn to find/they've gone away,/that's how you'll find your voice. So true!!<BR/><BR/>The poem also has so many wonderful images, like the tire swing full of rain and the moon rising like a whooping crane.

You are gifted with tremendous empathy for others, and you also have a wisdom that I suspect is beyond your years. <BR/><BR/>Reading your poetry is a treat that I savor. This is one I want to read again and again.<BR/><BR/>I love these lines:<BR/><BR/>"between the waxing <BR/>and the wane <BR/>we drink the purest light" <BR/><BR/>-- what a lovely way to look at this age!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003379181294550035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187683434790070953.post-21647896496785026322009-02-19T16:32:00.000-08:002009-02-19T16:32:00.000-08:00Joaquin!This startles me with its amazing exactnes...Joaquin!<BR/><BR/>This startles me with its amazing exactness of language.
