To wipe a single
tear...

And taste the fullness of the
ocean on my fingertip.

This sorrow...I drown in
such beauty.

Oh...what a consuming image plays in this write...
To drown in the waters of emotions such as these, require no lifeline...excellent.

Oh, how lovely.  To drown sorrow in beauty.  Oh Eric, what a perfect image.  This fits perfectly into the wisdoms I have been studying.  Now I have the words and the image to keep with me when I feel sorrow, and I shall see the beauty in every moment...even ones of sadness.  Yes! And your beauty, your words shall drown the sorrow.

Magnificent, Eric!

I cannot say how much I enjoy reading your work.  You are a minimalist master.

Short and sweet, and full of life.

We see much, observe little, and perceive less.
