I don't think I'm better than you
I'm sure I'm not
But I see what you do not
I see the unseen

You see a mask
I see a face
You see skin
I see a soul

You see an act
I see a scream
You see a smile
I see a tear

You see the game
As I see the cards fall
You hear the story
Not the stories I could tell

No doubt, we all see things differently,
but I sure liked how you wrote this.

Interpretations are dangerous, and fascinating at best.

Nice to read you~

(sigh) Wow, this is very emotionally powerful, sweet friend, I too believe we are all unique in our own ways though in situations like this differences can be so aching! (sigh) This is very poignant, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jason, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I think I may be the only one who fully understands this piece, and I don't know if this is another stab at me or what but I liked it anyway. A lot! It seems you are evolving in style, maturing if you will. Well written.
