You are much more than inventive flair, you are genuine poetry, your depth is extreamly refreshing, the statements in this poem are intensely profound, like words infused with question on a journey into the unknown....midst seas of jocund companies, I would like to speak from shore, leaving a line that wasn't there before....the heights of dreams dare...by means of artistic charm, you hold the readers captive! ! !
