Genius work here. You have said al or invso few words. I had to ponder the meaning. I took it as our own life should be lived in a way that affects the lives of others in a positive way. Living selfless instead of selfish? I have Ben known to be wrong for I am more Forrest Gump than genius! Forgive my interpretation if it's off. Thank you for sharing this.

Comment from C. Gale Burnett
If I had a 6-star left, you would have it :(
After looking up Meriam's definitions for 'touchstone' and 'keystone', I was greatly impressed by the depth of this 'exceptional genius' 5-7-5 poem. And, I recognized the keystone in the beautiful artwork you chose.
The title is perfect.
I really love the font and font size you chose for this poem.
Everything about your 5-7-5 is pure genius. A very eye-appealing, thought provoking work of art!
I wish you the very best in the contest! Great job!

What an eternal lesson given in few words! Great job. The first and last line stand out like opposites yet depend somehow on each other.
