Doing OK; not the best week, obviously. Trying to come to grips with a household sans some doggies.

Niamh was a powerfully spiritual being - I'm glad to know these words convey that in some way. Thanks, Barry.

Lovely meter, sumptuous sonics. I read it several times over, as one should do for the taste of a great poem. Kudos!

Thank you, Stewart. It's not my usual form, but the friend to whom it was dedicated somehow evoked it. Appreciate the affirmation.
