Things will be different.
No one will lose their sight,

Dear Ruth,
Bon voyage on your journey now begun to the next galaxy.
Thank you for the beauty, the truth, the gifts extended and
extending still like one finger of a spiral of stars sifting vastness
appealing to be spoken.
excellent....thought provoking....
could you post 'Train Ride' on this site?
I found it in the Oxford Book and really enjoyed it.
I apologize but I do not understand your poem. It doesn't seem like it rhymes to me but it is obvious that you have a Jewish background. Try to find your poetry rythym and go from there. Listening to music always helps. Take a look as some of my poetry and see what I need.
