Dissolves fear.
A smile
Thins the veil
Between Heaven and Earth,
Between souls.

Cloudia,

What a nice poem. I am finding poetry all around the web, and am very heartened. I had feared for it.

Tschüss,
Chris

"A smile

Between souls."

That sounds so right and entire, Cloudia, that it must have been waiting to be written for millennia.

I was reading an article recently about how we look at a evaluate time, in particularly the future. The writer wasn't convinced that books will remain forever, and also cited that some early magnetic tapes (with extremely worthwhile NASA info on them) are deteriorting, and they expect discs may do the same... Kind of unsettling to read, but I came away with the feeling that the preservation of what we know and cherish will have to keep evolving, too.

I don't have a nickname. Hence my problem.

I have 3 nicknames, but I'm only rich in friends. Guess that's what counts. Very nice post.
