I am a wildflower among roses of rich color A dream within reality the shadows of gray lost between the black and white But I am also the gentle rain within the heat The softest touch after the slap And I am hope within the storm "The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.

I dare say, that your humble personality comes through in your poems, dreamkeeper. We all have imperfections, but it takes humility and courage to define them.Because when we identify them, then we can also focus on our good qualities and develop them, thus becoming a better human being. Very well expressed. A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |
