Sharon I think you captured the mask of many who hide behind or within a book. Great Write! |

I came looking for this one...reminds me of Emily Dickinson, as YOU do, in so many ways...loved the description of the book here, and I happen to know you own a few just like that!  Loved this. Love you. |

PoetdeVine~ Made me want to pick up that book ... touch the dog-earred page and feel the tears left behind~ I've got a few of those well-loved books~ Each time I open one of them ... the voices speak out from the past~ You captured a special moment very well~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

there really seem to be no words that come to mind that can speak of the exquisiteness of this piece. Poet, may I keep a copy? Please e-mail your answer. I think this would be an excellent piece to ponder many times. There could be many messages within its folds. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

If this is forced, may the force always be with you.  This is quite good. |
