Chris,  even the smallest of offerings can
be a treasure.  Your words always are, just
as you...yourself are!

I do think, I do
when asked "what's a senryu?"
I said it's in you.

And I wasn't wrong!

Chris
In this poem you have proven your worthiness to be held as is said..a poem of vunerability and trust....you have done something more than physical to earn this sanctuary...now you are protected by something invisible, something spiritual, "loves strength"

Enjoyed reading this poem......:-)
