My comment was too long. PH would not accept it, so I had to break it up into sections. I have posted them in reverse order so that the beginning will show at the top!

I came back to read this poem again, and realized that you were talking about yourself and moving to a new country. You shall fly once again to a land that's unknown, you shall open your heart yet again. You shall love those new people and call them your own.

(Conclusion) At least that is my interpretation. Now the poem means even more to me. I know what it's like to move to a new country and to get to know and love the people. I love the people of Brazil, and would love to go back again. Very well done. Thanks again for posting this.

This poem and the amazing thoughts that inspired and animate it came to you at the end of last June, about seven months ago. Im trying to recall what I was engaged on back then, and I can't remember. Nothing as stirring and powerful as this poem! I'm considering the long term effect of a poem, not just the immediate impact upon reading it, but the long term of months during which the poem's sentiments and resolutions have a chance to grow and develop. This is a passage that is written for the future to fulfill, and it's a beautiful thought in an often ugly world: ALL THEIR DYING WORDS WERE FOR ME A BLOOD BOND, /A LIFE BREATH, A LIFE SCENT, A LIFE PLEA. I'm reminded of the victims and the refugees whose different fates run through GARDEN OF WAR. This is so eloquent, it's a perfect blending of personal expression and public commitment. Now I want to take your model of a message carried by the wind, with both personal and societal concerns.

Fantastic poetry! You have a wonderful talent, Maddalena.

I agree with Mrs. Colleen, this is a real poem, with substance, outside the usual poetic pattern, with an intriguing theme, like all your poems, Maddalena.

This is such a great poem and very well written. It has a nice flow to it and I adore that second stanza!
