There is a mystery here to which, i still look for the clues.
this was a compliment, :)
@glnroz: ;O)
Sehr gut! Loved the play on the word. Hoping it's not true, but surmising it is...heavy with sorrow, things taken, not returned.
((HUGS))
I suspect as well there is some personal reflection entwined here. This is what makes poetry powerful, the emotion behind the prose. The tone is solemn and I too love the word play, hence, "Nine, Nine, Nein". The last stanza really slapped me across the face, had to read it again.
