Precious Atticus!
I realized this afternoon, as I checked Writing Babble for about the 10th time today and your heartstopping bolded name appeared, the considerable influence you have had on me since I started posting here.
On that dark, cool July morning when I came back and wrote Tobacco Run, you, who had inspired me to write poetry again, responded to me, and at that moment the darkness turn to dawn.
With your return that lightening has quadrupled as I have come to regard you as a fundamental fellow journeyer on a quest for scabbing over the lesions that lost love has elaborately created.
Thank you for dedicating your poem to me and to Jai. I felt as I read it that I was literally in that living room able to see your thoughts and emotions as they unfolded. I can see the two of you, the enchantment you both felt, and the shivering, pristine rush of realization that this is, quite simply kismet.
