My Gratitude: An Ode To You, My Muses

Oh! How can I thank you, you purveyors of positive and heartfelt responses to my trembling forays into the creative realm? Not a few of you gave pieces of your heart to me, for we had shared past tribulations and childhood sorrows. In that, we healed each other in not a small way by those revelations and the courage to open that door a bit wider, to let each other in. I have wept for you too, bearing witness to the hurt in some that birthed such beautiful words you chose to bring to light in your poems, stories, songs. Oh, I felt your joy, your passion, your sorrow, your love! I am transformed! Thank-you!
