Smiles:) Barbara A rock on the outside fragile like butterfly wing on the inside. great piece. i really like the last two line, really brings it home.

To be honest Rich...I think you have just shared one of the greatest parts of you, which to any of us that has got to know you over time is, a great human being, with great heart and emotion, A beautiful and thoughtful write, very cleverly conveyed, No shame in tears..... Best Regards Peter ~~~~~~~~~Creativity Is to think more efficiently~~~~~~~~~~

I like your last two stanzas...this must be one of your best poems! Enjoyable one...thank you Themoonman

being a guy in a man's world. I know; I'm a guy ... in a man's world. This piece you've casted's so nonfiction, so in-and-out reflective of moonman. So honest. A delight. And thanx. Yours, Chuck PS: Do you mean to say peak? or peek? Seems to me that peek's a better fit.

I really like the second stanza. This is like someone cracked open your head, and we're all taking a peek inside. Good stuff. ~Jess ---------------------------------------------------- "Maybe in your vision, you've seen how omniscient is slightly less than divine.

A little secreet[?] A true man is never afraid to cry! Beauty in this poem Thank you for sharing with us~

This is a beautiful piece. Something different than what I've seen you do, and I really like it

that a certain toughness tempered and guided by sensitivty would be something for you to celebrate, not hide.

I think you have become the man all men should strive to be. Nothing more sensual than a man with a heart. Love. ~A

I liked the image of the lifting of the rock. The soil is softer and more furtile in the garden under rocks. I think this is a good strong poem. There are alot of us that can relate. I think real men can cry and still be strong. Dana
