Which way shall I take the course to my reader’s hearts,
What scale and tools do I collect with,
What voyeur’s wrap I claim in readiness.
Are the ages of my father come to bear,
Or will be for next generation’s benefit:
And for sure hope luck to smile a lot,
Unless I weaken in devotion,
That I harbor this pretext,
Where course is subject to a wanton age.
Gather, flock with us; examine all to beyond:
Valiant person have surpassed our time.
I find it nearly impossible to navigate a 150 foot long cruise ship in a 5 foot bathtub and yet reading a short piece such as this, makes that voyage so enjoyable and verily possible, in that with a few words you have depicted so much. But the pain heals eventually and the wounds transform into a beauty few can express as eloquently as you have. Beautiful work, Maria.
Amor
i feel it too! Instead of paper or pc it's as if you write directly on our souls. Amazing write.

Too easy feel who has pain. If we feel your pain we can understand you. But this way not enought. That is not consolation for us. Also for you. All your poems carry your pain to us and future. To endless.
