My dear Amy, Thank you for the amazing poem . I am immensely humbled that you would write such a beautiful poem after reading my essay.

I found the poem deeply moving and captivating from the opening line through to the hopeful end. I particularly like the vivid imagery, historic references and the questions you ask, especially this line, "Black is the depth of probing for answers, so elusive" That is powerful and so true. My essay in which I am writing ask this same very question.

Thank you for writing with a thoughtful tenderness and meaning and thank you for the sign post to my essay. 🙏 I truly appreciate you my friend. 😊 Love , peace and happiness.
