Post a CommentA lot about this I like. I'm a minamalist too. Sometimes you can say so much using fewer words.
Thanks all! I will have to think about the audio version. RIght now I don't have the equipment to do something like that.
Very well expressed. Definitely something that I can relate to.
Some memories remain within our focus forever! Well stated!
very good use of imagery, excellent poem
Your work always touches my heart.
Wow! This is very good.
In light of some recent reconnections on the internet,
