Tinka,
I've asked myself over and over again in the last few months, Why I can't just throw the pen down and walk away? I still don't have that answer...so I'll continue the search.
This is an awesome write my Friend...

What a deeply moving testimony to value and power of shared creative vision. Among the old questions regarding poetry is whether or not it really matters. Lines such as these demonstrate that it does in the most real and significant ways. Thank you. And Peace:-)

Aaah, Tinka, often times we do not write what people want to read. The most important thing is who strongly and compassionate you feel about what you write. When that passion consumes you, you are elated that you have satisfied yourself. Keep writing, do not despair.
Beautiful poem I must say.
