Thank you so much Eliot Wild,

I took all your excellent suggestions and I'm down under 2200 and better for it.

I originally wrote the piece in more or less one sitting. It pleases me to have you say that it read like poetry. I think it is my voice (perhaps like singing in the shower, untrained), and I think it comes from the pain of the grey havens. I never have found anything like reading the Lord of the Rings when I was very young.

I was at loose ends and your help focused me. Thanks again.
