Seems you've crossed some mighty bridges, and you've found serenity on the other side.

The strength in your writing brings me to tears.

perseverance
I think people write poems after they realize their struggle, yours show that you were aware of your struggle and stuck it out, which speaks highly of your character.  and you express yourself so well! i beat around the bush, but you just nail it.  much enjoyed.

I re-read this again this morning ~ and each time I read, it reveals even more Shelly ~ I hum that song, Landslide --- Shelly, this is so rich, deep in soulful perspective and introspective value of gold just pours forth ~ I am drawn to this work, this Cantos.  Just astounding.   ~ Elyse loves you dearly, Shelly ~ Good day!

Sam
Wow – this is such an outpouring of your journey, your inner struggles, and ultimately your capacity to choose (find) your way.  Clearly it is a labour of love.  It’s not easy to reach inside ourselves this deeply and put those introspections into poetry.  I commend your perseverance and compliment the result.

Time indeed stood still as I was reading this poem, overjoyed, as also overawed, at the beauty, the pain, the pathos, the being of togetherness what was once physical, but not anymore, thus in in reminiscences now, and ultimately, the deep yearning to unite in the other world, freed of the mortal body and ever united in the union of the spirite to forever become one, for ever free. My vocabulary runs short of praising when I am overcome with joy. Bhaskar tipping his heart in amazement, & singing all the way.
