I will not pretend to comprehend this with just 2 readings and a listen. But for whatever reasons, the emotion I sensed ... touches, not-so-softly, as your writings often do. Your talent exceeds my own in very way, but as a songwriter, I would leave every word the same ... but reverse the numbering. I don't know why, but I would. I found it as stimulating reading it in reverse. Perhaps I am off my meds! I am amazed how you give so much to consider with so few words spoken. Very nice Margaret.
Thank you, Donald! Oh wow—now I want to see what it would be like reversed—what a cool idea. That was the one thing I didn’t mess with was the order, but now I’m wondering why—I love rearranging things :).
Thank you, Laurence! And thank you for the invitation to your Substack—I hopped over and read your poem. You sum up the beauty of this community so well.

So much reaching in this poem, reaching for so many things!
I love that word in association with this poem, Elizabeth. “Reaching” is so true.
Very nice piece Margaret.
Totally loved it.
