We Shall Overcome

[Wynmaiden]

Oh my goodness. It was like a soft, sad dance, like a timeless ballet of word and meaning; and your words tie little extra ribbons of beauty around each line, and I truly, truly, truly am awed with this piece's poignant beauty.

[Balustrade]

Thank you everyone. I am so humbled that my pleas, my desperation, my sentiments - they are all being heard and supported.

[MikelFirewalker]

yes...yes...yes...

the great clarion call that comprehends all that is the best in the human soul...

we shall overcome death...

The thoughts are too deep to describe.yet you have done it with such ease . like an artist at his easel on a stormy night his brush painting the colors of spring.The blend of dark and light loss and the present perception of the lost one is I can only describe as simply beautiful.Thank you for sharing the beauty of a memory.The title is too glaring against the backdrop of mellowness.Could you soften it up if possible?

A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Keats

I truly thank you for your constructive comment, although I wanted the title to stand out powerfully against the languid backdrop of the rest of the poem. Shock treatment of sorts.

The soothing sound of that voice comes through loud and clear. Great ability in creating the atmosphere of that whispering sound. I really liked the sensitivity in this piece and how tenderly you developed it. Great work here and enjoyed!!

It all comes out of faith, I believe, as hard as it is.

[Balustrade]

Please chill and be well. We must always seek and acquire the strength to keep pushing ahead.

What a great poem. I can't say enough to show how much I liked this one. When I hit the last 2 lines, they invoked a presence of conviction and surprise from within the subject matter.

[Balustrade]

Peace within, this is what it is all about. Leads to conviction and acceptance, no matter how hard "it" is.
