The soothing balm, the fragrant oil, the cleansing flood, the thirst-quenching waters... the power and life that there is in words and poetry. Your burning ember of a ku above transforms a sad and bad land, kindling a spark of hope which stokes the furnace to burnish the pens of writers everywhere! A soul-stirring tribute that is masterfully conceived and written! TY Brava indeed! LOL Kate xx
