Powerful piece. I enjoyed reading and thinking about it. Well done. Write on! :)

I wondered the same as Ryn. Why that treatment of "Silver?" I think it would flow better without losing any of its impact without the special treatment of a word. But I'm an amateur and might easily have missed your intended meaning. Nice poem. I like it.

Peace, Doc

Beautiful! Great imagery and a good message. I'm just wondering why the word silver is italicized and parenthesized. Is it supposed to be read a certain way? Anyway good job! Ryn
