    • Very excited and very grateful. My son Michael will be coming back to American soil in about 12 days I want to thank all of you for your prayers and well wishes and strength.

    The Glass Wall

    The glass wall.
    It is between us.
    You put your hand to it,
    I mirror it with mine.
    I put my ear to it,
    I can hear your heart beating.
    I can almost smell you.
    I can almost taste you.
    I can almost touch you.
    Almost,
    But for the wall.

    We sometimes build our own walls, and can't explain why. Your poem is short and gets this point across..........Very nice.

    Alone in a crowd, seen and not heard screaming inside, no one can hear.....and look just fine...mlea

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
