| Posted by Maria Massarella on 04/01/08 at 02:29 AM I have known what it is to be like that "leaf
late lingering let loose by swift March winds" and have embraced the falling of silence that you have captured so well ... Just, I didn't linger long enough on the bench after therapy to write of it. Sant'Orsola hospital was too distant from my home, and the highway called, but my mind and heart lingered, as did my eyes, and treasured notes of how silent spring can be. You have written of it so eloquently. May there be other springs, that you may capture anew its song ... *m.a

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 04/01/08 at 04:24 PM A very strong and emotional poem Peter aptly capturing the underlying mood of the inspiration. I really like the choice of words and construction; the closing stanza especially leaves a lasting impression. Good luck with the treatment. |

| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 04/02/08 at 06:15 PM Intensely still and alive, we are rooted to the bench there with you and our heads are full of the breeze in pines and time's silent deep spring. |
| Posted by Tony Whitaker on 04/03/08 at 08:20 AM A wonderful, thought-provoking piece! A grand testament to those who share your burden. May your cure be swift and your writing remain as brilliant! |
