Walls, built by the pen of poets
Blue halls stretching endlessly.
The telltale signs of life within

Laughter, sobs...tears of pain,
of comfort, of sadness and joy...

Personalities that span the globe
as words fly faster than one
can imagine...

Language barriers bridged...
Moments shared...said...experienced..
Souls bared to the nakedness of
our heart, given tenderly.

I remember my first day....
One year ago today...
So much has changed since
that moment when I clicked on
a button....sending a piece of
me to a place...

A place I now call home...

You certainly have had an impressive journey as you have sailed this sea of blue---almost 7,000 postings--and an impressive 611 were your original posts! That's a lot of writing and a lot of wisdom and a lot of humor and a lot of compassion and a lot of romance...need I say more?!? You are and incredible poet and an incredible man!
