When a poem comes, it is THERE, and the anaolgy with breathing is a true one for me, too. I also am very pleased when something I've written speaks to others--often people who have read a few of my poems on my website let me know that, and I appreciate it. I've always found your poems moving and true,--remembering the ones you wrote when Dawana was hospitalized--and will enjoy visiting the website to see more of them!
