Thanks for welcome Frank, and to Ryfkah for kindly observations.
Meant no more by this than that "our lives are rounded by a little sleep",
as time passes your bubble gets fragile! I admit I don't follow
what others are getting at, but suddenly you catch a like mind,
you're tuned in, that's the excitement of poems isn't it?
Sorry Christina, small screen poor eyesight, mis-spelt name would annoy me.
Regards to you all.
