Hi Andy,
I,too,am blown away by your honest assessment of what seems like the human condition of being alive in the 21st Century. We are brilliant and dumb, shining and numb, yearning and over-stuffed creatures of our own making.
Imperfect though we be, yet we rise at times to the heights of angels because we can love.
Your words touched me deeply.
xoxo

Wow! In all my years of writing poetry, puplished,
unpublished, in workshops, on the net, I have yet
to read a comment that summed up my poem more than
yours. On top of that, the darn comment is almost
as poetic as the poem. LOL!

You're wonderful Willow.

I thank you so very much for taking the time
to read such a long poem and then to leave me
such a wise and welcomed reply.

smiles,
andy
