Have you ever seen the movie, The English Patient? The main character (played by Ralph Fienes) carries around this book of historical poetry and prose - really beautiful content - and reads it at different times of the day while working in the African desert. Some of the sunsets and most of the music in that movie are so romantic, and the story is really quite moving. This piece reminds me of that. If I were to be in the desert, and wanted some poetry for the soul, I would need nothing more than a book of your poems - 'classic Paysens'. I would read it at night by an open fire, and in my tent at night before going to sleep. It would be so soothing and somehow reassuring. It would set my heart right.

Best regards,

Chris

This is exceptional, wonderfully composed poetry, Kathy. Your writing throughout the wording scheme is so imaginative and richly picturesque. I like the overall feeling this fine write brings forth, as it is both captivating and filled with light. I truly admire your talented ways of conveying such elaborate and powerful imagery throughout your prose and poetry, Kathy, as your beautiful work continues to both motivate and inspire me.

"Delicate a sunset's wings of inner peace
Hues flickering from cathedral windows
Candlelight dancers of the golden fleece
Upon lit shores they cast bright shadows" - Stellar poetic imagery.

God bless you,
