Your poems give me joy and the world needs more joy, there are so many styles and ways to express thought, your expression often suits my moods when I have a chance to rest and relax Mihaela; power to your pen.

This is what I consider religious poetry: passionate, untrammeled, visionary, universal. I love your parenthetical image too - I'm closing my eyes now to let the image shape itself. This is the perfect end of a day in the life of....
