Thanks. Something tells me I have a chance to make more money in the next 5 – 10 years if I do something unique.

Pinkdreams, I love this poem! You spoke for all those stuck between the past and the future. Your courage is a wonder to behold. To set off after years maybe decades on this new adventure takes courage. I also enjoyed reading about the challenges you faced as a teacher. Love the tone you set for this poem. Enjoyed this much.

Thanks, John. I have nine teaching days left, and it feels like too much. I’m going to give myself a month off, and then see what kind of new path I can forge.

Thank you so much Damian. Your words here are deeply appreciated. My muse for this poem is in her fifties but ageless and timeless as a Goddess. Much gratitude.

Thanks so much Visions. Much of the credit goes to my muse, a woman who has inspired me for many years. Her fifty-something beauty if ageless and timeless.

Thanks so much Steven. Am honored by your words on my poem. Really heartening to read them. Very glad you find my poetry interesting. Really makes my day. Love that this poem in particular represented great Romanticism for you. That is what I was trying for. Glad you enjoyed.
