I really liked this poem, as I've had the same thoughts that you expressed so well. Especially these ending lines: How odd to think their brilliance
May have burned out long ago,
But their light is just now reaching us!

And that moment . . . makes all the difference in the world! Shine on! As Kind Arthur in Camelot said,
"One of what we all are, Pelly. Less than a drop in the great blue motion of the sunlit sea. But it seems that some of the drops sparkle, Pelly. Some of them do sparkle!"

WOW. Extremely powerful. This is one I will remember. I checked your bio block, wanting to know more about you, but, sadly, you haven't added it as yet. This poem, however, spoke volumes about who you are. ~fyn
Awwww...sad and sweet all at the same time! Know the feeling well. Slightly different, but the same in the long run! Great read! I'm using this piece in my Authors newsletter this week. ~fyn
Hard to say I 'enjoyed' this poem but more, I think I enjoyed how you communicated a difficult set of feelings. Particularly the line: in the outskirts of our love. <---excellent phrase! Fresh and different!

Yeah, you nailed being there. Spot on. I've never forget as a parent, standing on the deck of the aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagen (CVN 76) with the Navy personnel lining the decks at attention. We parents, all saluting as well. After we passed, I looked around. EVERYONE had tears streaming.

You pretty much nailed this! Have you ever been to Pearl Harbor? If you haven't and ever have the opportunity, do so. Mind-boggling. Heart-wrenching. Using your piece in this week's Authors Newsletter on befores and afters. ~fyn
Well written, well-crafted piece about 9-11. It is difficult to do this well. A hard, emotional time. I'm using this in this week's For Authors Newsletter on 'before and after moments in our lives.~fyn
What a strong and compelling story, experience, memory. Getting this out of the way --I'm using this in my For Authors Newsletter this week as I wrote of the befores and afters of defining moments.
I've read the play that took your experiences and those of many, many others and brought it to the world. It is such an important story and a story that says so much about the folks in that tiny town.
Superbly well written! That, too, says a lot because when things strike home so deeply, it is a difficult thing to do well. And you absolutely did! ~fyn
