Hello Andy

I am truly blown away by this, and have tears welling in my eyes come the close. So much covered here, a life indeed in the depth of each act. Anythings possible?, and finding that the alleged 'riches' of this man made world are such a thin veneer, and do little to ultimately stir the soul, to spark a life, to satisfy in any way, does just kill.

A straightjacket of conformity that really does undermine our mental stability, our inner honesty in that battle to really know who we are, which, depending on the type of rain, does change.

Then moments of clarity, in the random chaos of our eternities, that speak of spirit, and understanding that there's not a thing wrong with being, just, me.

Andy, this is just a snapshot of where your words took me, and how they have filled my spirit with the strength of their honesty.

I'm rambling, but this was just astounding.

Max

Max,

I may have said this before but, I am
so impressed by your comments on poetry here.
You are definately someone who reads a poem
and internalizes it before you comment.

As a passionate reader of verse myself I have
a great deal of respect for the time you take
to read and comment.

I thank you for leaving me your words which
made me realize that my poem was able to
achieve what I intended it to. If a poet
can do that with one reader than he/she can
be sure the poem is sucessfull. It has then
reached its full cycle. I thank you for
confirming that for me today and more.

best,
andy
