Hello Rosalie
I have just discovered your work and I have started off by reading this poem. It said a lot to me. I like the writing style. And it says something!!!
A message for many people to comfort themselves with.
I am a real beginner and at 59 that is hard! But I want to write a book and will get there one day.Have positive energy although, like you, I have experienced many downfalls in life.The most important thing is we don't stay down. My problem is that "appointment with myself" for writing, isn't always so good.I don't get there! Very bad self discipline with other priorities.In fact, I want to write MOST of all,but never seem to give myself the time to do so. Maybe I am afraid. And the fear is indiretcly keeping my dream locked up.I am sure you too,must have re-felt the pain in many sentences when you wrote.I like words that give a message! Thank you!!!!!
I like that you put an issue that most people see as negative into a positive pocket.
Good
Good luck!
Rita from UK living in Southern Sweden.

Rosalie,
Beautifully written. The mysteries surrounding death are often best described by a true poet. Nice to meet another P/A author here. Your book sounds very interesting.

Parallels with Keats too --

Do not stand by my grave and weep:
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain.
I am the field of ripening grain.

I am in the morning hush,
I am in the grateful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight.
I am the starshine of the night.

I am in the flowers that bloom.
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing.
I am in each lovely thing.

So do not stand by my grave and cry.
I am not there.
I did not die.
~John Keats~

Interesting the parallels between my poem, A Portal To Glory, and your poem even though I had never seen your poem, and
you undoubtedly wrote it first. I only wrote my 2 days ago.
