Comment from Pam Lonsdale

Excellent

I wonder if this poem is about COVID as you write, "my country writhes in the throws of death."

This is a sad read, but you voiced your thoughts and pain well. I wish you well and days of joy.

A lovely poem Barbara. Your imagery is profound. I am headed off to a funeral in a few minutes for a woman who was greatly loved in our community. She would have enjoyed reading your poem as well.

Blessings

I concur with your thoughts shared herein. May we still be on similar pages after the veil is lifted and we move on to wherever it is we ??earn??. Not that we can buy a celestial space. If deserved, it would come naturally. Being with God cannot be bought.

You speak powerfully of how our emotions can ravage us and show how the most frustrating aspect of all is helplessness. We see things slipping and fading, and cannot fight them. Very well written.

It seems like the good people I know suffer greatly. I'm glad you can see your heavenly home afar. I see too, and wait with great anticipation.

Sending you my best today today as always for this marvelous poem. Sal XOs

It was a very nice poem. Thoughtful in parts and inspirational in others. You speak of great tragedies, and yet thankful for all the days you have been blessed with. Hope to read more.
