This is to my beautiful Pipster friends, especially in the light of a recent event. A DIFFERENCE MADE 7 March 2006 When dark crawls small around the throat, and soul-stones grind both grey and shiver-slow, and tears glass-freeze before the words, and flow seems ebb, forever more . . . just one warm word like a candle glow . . . and sunrise sings in sky-splashed flames, and millstone lifts and breath is free, and sun-drenched tears dry with soft-healing balm, and words surge boundless, skywards, wide and ebb reverts to blessèd flow. - Owl |

This is so elegant and class Owl, human sentiments have unfathomable complexity, your poem underline wonderfully the sucession of the thoughts in our untamed souls. regards yann |
