how could you dream up there
too low the altitude for clouds
to serve as your bed and grand pillows
too high to pass through its test windows
.
the leafless vigor that mightily holds
seems to be dead and rather old
how can you drive on rugged endless road
you’re clipped between shaky withering loads
.
the wheel of fortune is in your favor
for tomorrow it’s in another’s hands
the higher you get to be in the future
the hardest the fall for sure…

Not a problem. I notice that there isn’t many people that comment when you are starting out. That works on both ends. 🙂

I think you have to build relationships. It took me awhile before anybody commented. It was frustrating to say the least. I don’t think it is serious replies.

I have tried it before and his reply was frustrating. It hurt me. He misunderstood some phrases of my message. It’s a pity I like his writings. From then on I stopped striking the Like button on his works. 🙂

That is unfortunate that this happened. Maybe it is a culture difference of what is being said. Did you approach him with his contact me page if he has one and explaining things?
