Much to ponder ..... The picture seems to awake the imagination and the poem is the vessel to take us where the poetess would carry our thoughts enchanting dreamlike haven of passage..................

Troosha, just evoking and meditative ~

in light of the fact that I just recently lost my mum in law in August; and she following the rest of our parents, this particular poem touched my heart...so peaceful.  xoxo Elyse

Troosha, yes it is very sobering, but also has a tender touch as we

visualize (ot try to) these spirits that hold no harm towards us...just a gentle reminder that our time, too, will come.....

A sobering thought.

Much Light

It is wonderful when one so talented can move ones spirit as your poem did for me. Lv Femia

All I could think of was the variety of numbers that are counted, indeed the hair on one's head in some beliefs! This is a great food for thought poem, too! sam
