Loved reading this, the mournful tones and soulful way you tied in poetry and loss with such grace. |

Thanks so much, MA. Alterations made. The 'musical' was supposed to convey the idea of her becoming her own being - she is still the poetry written but escaping and becoming her own entity, if that makes sense. |
Just reading the response made me want to check out your page! |
They do have a habit of taking on a life of their own don’t they? More often than not I find my own writing going down an unintended path than when my pen initially touched the paper. |

Absolutely, Anthony. Glad you related somehow. |
Oh My God. What a mesmerizing..piece. This is absolutely one of the best poems I've read lately! No exaggeration ! There is nothing to add after what you, MA and Anthony said but seriously this is a different level! Apart from the style itself I am deeply touched by the content. It's just such a creative piece Ben. |

It must be difficult to say goodbye to something you yourself have created. There was a certain deja vu about this verse I felt. |
