Oh I liked it a lot. It appeared that your mind took a path all its own and we wandered along to very private thoughts. Nice. I enjoyed it.

Re:
Hi My Sam - I am so happy Christopher came back home safe & sound and brings with him an element of surprise for you. It's a good thing too you did not forget me. I just read your poetry..awesome as usual. I know from the way you explain that it is a tedious task to put together years of work and I am glad you are finishing it bit by bit. I Thank you for liking the poem and truly I was at a loss as to what to write for a few days...and I am glad you and everyone else got it..lol. It is always a pleasure to have you talk to me like this sweetie so dont worry about the space...what are they for anyway! Have fun with the family especially with your son back and all and don't worry about emailing me anything until you are totally free with your time. I had a girls night out with my cousin and of course my partners in crime - my sisters!! Had a blast, came back very late and just got out of bed..lol. Mum was checking where all her daughters had gone to..lol. I managed to get out of answering her call..Breakfast for them on Saturday all sorted out by moi so things are not too bad otherwise I might just have to leave the country. Bye sweetie, have a lovely time reading and I love you very very much.

What an awesome couplet:
This quiet that comes a calling
Quite simply place it right next to your soul
What a refreshing poem! There are times, special times, [such as this] when a poem just comes together without much help, input, etc. from the poet! Such a perplexing but enlightening experience! There will also be times when you write something and not have a clue to its meaning and then go nuts when everyone gets it but you! That is a fun one, too! I promise it will happen! 
I finally got my spiritual poetry book typed! 
It was a chore! I now have everything that was most at risk, backed up! So relieved! There is still a lot of work to do, it's not as pressing! I am now proof reading and hope to have that finished by the end of the weekend! I have a friend, a former blogger here, who is writing the introduction! It should be very special for her daughter, her only child, has recently become a missionary! It may work well for her for it could provide a release, she is so fearful for her daughter's safety! Now, my next project, as soon as this current book is in the mailed to the publisher, is to organize my form poetry! See, I did not forget you! The minute I start retrieving them I will start e-mailing! I am so hoping it is by mid week! Speaking of e-mail, I probably should have done it this time, lol!
I love that poem my Shobana!!!! KUDOS! 
I don't know if I told you, but, Christopher got in late Wednesday night from Egypt! He was early! I think he does that so he can surprise me! He took tons of pictures and a cool gift for his sister! It is a silver necklace with her name inscribed in hieroglyphic. She loves anything Egypt! So, he is at his base, but home safe!
Your sam loves you dearly and so sorry to take up so much of your comment page! You sam

I suppose it all depends on the individual where we find tranquility; I find it on the sea-shore most of all. Thanks for these thoughts.
