.


One may spend
His whole life
This side of the page
In other men’s dreams

Know nothing of
True love or courage
Except what he sees
On a theatre screen

How fortunate then
Should that chance come
Who answers well
Despite the fear to give
However unknown
To eternity his moment
In time

Another star
However faint
To light the night—

A single tree
Against the sky

Your poems at first appear simple and yet they are so complex, a credit to your poetic skill.

Yes, you write with an extraordinary pen, and your poetry is so fine tuned.

Enjoyed, very much so.
