I just wanted to say yours was special and magical because it conveys with concision and simplicity, is unaffected and musical. In short I loved it. Thank you so much. Your choice of anonymity is also laudable in an era where art for its own sake is often overshadowed by the need for recognition. Which probably contributes to the sense of being spoken to, effortlessly, by the poem, not spoken at - an amazing feat. Thank you.
