This is true on so many levels and I end up in this situation every now and then in recent times. It's true changing a few words and it can completely change the offset of a write. But when reading it a few more times I also interpreted this: Changing our point of view on a given situation can completely change outlook of it. Nicely worded ^^ Thank you for sharing

I like it! The word document is the landscape upon which a poem is built. But everyone - and everything - must endure change, no matter how significant.

An edited landscape!--I like it.
Hushes the environment, as well.
This piece, Jacob, is a minimalist"s dream!

thank you for the kind words, Jimmy.

I like the reflection of the short verses on 'editing' - how it changes the landscape - making it more or less 'rugged' ? and therefore easier to navigate? And what is lost and what is gained? Lots for the reader to ponder!

You are welcome always.
And lives too Jacob. I have often wondered what would become of all those thoughts and ponderings we had but erased behind the white and changed. Maybe we should keep note of them and see what we can make of those words at a later date. Probably be some scary reading, but worth it I think :)

Short but sweet. Sometimes perception is built from observing the negative spaces. This is a succinct and powerful piece J.
