Between Our Hushes Poem by Reshma Ramesh

A wonderful write - we need spaces, all kinds of spaces, some to be filled by our thoughts, others by friends, or a friend, and still others by that great love that creates their own spaces. One of the joys I've found is to have someone, that one person, who shares your space, creates her own in her, and you keep on creating and sharing in an ever-changing world. Thank you, Rehma, for giving me these sublime thoughts. That's the power of poetry, it helps us know who we are.10 Mark
