so hi, norah! now that i'm aware of you from you commenting on a few of my poems, i'm starting to check out yours. this is the second i've read, and i'm looking forward to more. on this one i wonder about the you in this poem- who it is and whether this person was soon to pass. it brings to my mind the last minutes with my dad who passed while i was in his hospital room singing the few psalms i knew with jewish melodies. i wrote of the experience in my poem, how faint and elusive. gk

After a terrible fall my best friend was put in an induced coma by his doctors and for weeks I read poems out loud to He and I have a special love for Chinese Poetry, and I read from anthology of 3000 years of Chinese poetry, a book he treasured. When he finally awoke, the brain damage has cruelly cut in mind apart. But every week I visit him in rehab, read poems, mine and others, and he makes a heart-breaking attempt to speak about them, but can't finish a sentence. Your beautiful poem reconciles me to this new role of friend I play. Your poem makes the Heart Chakra brighten and send forth healing rays. I'm going to read it to Paul, because on some level, he will understand the feeling the pours out of this poem.

Deeply moved by your words Daniel and the heartbreak of your beloveds friends attempt to respond to the poems you read. Yes my husband died of liver cancer shortly after this. Somehow reading Tagore's poems gave him comfort and strength.Many nights he quietly wept as I read. It was a very precious time those last weeks together. I lit a candle for your friend tonight may he find inner peace in the midst of his great tribulation. What an extraordinary mystery life is Daniel.

A stunning write that portrays devastating loss and shock in it's vivid starkness. A resounding 10 and straight to my favorites.
