air hugs

Sweet affirmation in a dire time. I'm smiling.

A bit sad but true-- Nice piece. Especially like the closing image - the "faces turned" and the "tide rolls in" ... always. Hopeful. Good writing.

"sneak in a hug..."

Definitely. *

Lovely, sad poem.

Lovely poem.

Nice!

Liked this a lot. Going to cut and paste it into my ongoing journal, the one I'm keeping for "posterity"
if that's all right with you.

Thank you, Matt.

Thank you, Sam. Stay well!

Thanks, Tim...I can't give up my hugs!

Thank you, Erika.

Thank you, Gary. Be careful, stay well!

Thank you, Dianne! :)

Thank you, David. I'd be honored for you to preserve my work. :)

"a small sparrow hawk in the viciously pruned vitex"
Sinuous virtuoso line!
(Not many writers I know who can manage a r-s-t-u-v-w-x-y in one line! Whoa!)

Thank you, Bill. It wasn't intentional, I'm just a fly by the seat of my ass writer(?) Have no formal education, just write it as I see and feel it.

Wonderful ending.

Wonderful paean to hope and life.*

Nice and nicely done. Good gift.

Thank you, Beate. Life always goes on, one way or another.

Thank you, Daniel.

Thank you, Darryl. :)

Oh, yeah.
