Really nice. I really like where this leads. It gives those last three lines an excellent final shot.

This is one of those poems that I hesitate to comment on because I figure I will miss the intended meaning... not that the intended meaning matters... :-) As I read it the second time I thought about the research (can't remember the German name of the physicist who did it) that demonstrates (I know not how) that matter and energy change when someone its manifestation. Maybe the hope of that last verse is that the above phenomenon will indeed occur and s/he WILL call. But, the meaning I personally like best is that I change when I notice, when I wait, when I anticipate. Thanks for a thought provoking piece George.

I meant to say... matter and energy change when someone OBSERVES their manifestation.

The word itself, "mattered", so significant. Kind of like your waiting.

Glad to know that there's someone else who feels the way I feel! oood write!

...uhhh, whatever mepal Glenn says annnnd i'm wordless, you hear me? wordless...this starts out stout and stays all the way thru then zooooom! up into the atmosphere of life...nice bubba...nice.

When I read this it softsteps through like a saddened lullaby, lulling, not with anger, rather - a hopelessness from an experienced reality.

And methinks (meknoweth?), George, that I know these things matter to you, from the blessed amounts we've traded a few stories of us. This is what a good author does ~ create a path for thinkers. Like you've done here.

And what Glenn wrote. Wow. See what you began?
