You are magical. Your words do wonders to my heart. I love signing in and seeing you have submitted poems. There are a couple of phrases that I found to be as original and touching as they come. Thank you for having a wonderful brain and for sharing it with us.

"I felt both a sadness
in the human touch,
and a yearning to become
more than haunted."

This was the most haunting line to me. I think it speaks volumes about the strange way we can feel both saddened by our past and still hope that the future will be different.

Mary Anne! Love, love, love....this is amazeballs! You are a beautiful writer!
