A beautiful dreamlike poem that starts out with happy memories and ends in the loss of someone special. I think this poem could be read in memory of someone who wanted to overcome all odds against their shortcomings yet in the end falls victim to their limitations (be it a physical, emotional or mental death).

Regards.

Fozia

i have read and re-read this piece several times to come up with words to describe how i feel after reading it and am still hopelessly wordless but being the stubborn person i am i will try...

feelings of losing one-self, of floating, of surrealness and all with a dash of childlike simplicity comes to the surface.

i really enjoyed this piece..its like music but better.

``I love to feel the rivers of your thoughts.``

A well written piece overall. Loved this line.

Ras

Bina:

Great combo---165+pms+poet!

``I love to feel the rivers of your thought`` and ``a boy who has no origin can defy his fate`` but the judeo-christian guilt consumption stumped me, ``consumed with that first great injustice``? Or am I injecting a different perspective than what you intended.

regards
