Obama And Cleopatra Comments

The more one reads this the more personal and poignant it becomes. I have read through it five times, each time more carefully and thoughtfully. Impressions? Profundity. Heartache. Desperate sadness albeit haloed with unrelenting optimism - like the silver around the cloud, on more than one level. The optimism engendered by Obama's appointment and the opportunity for change; The unrelenting optimism of a father shouldering - for the moment - the loathsome weight of unrequited reconcilition. Love will out, my friend. Love will out.

Parental longing yet again undervalued or underated, but so, so strong, it is a primeval need, and the reader's heart is deeply moved by these end lines, in which a 'Clepopatra moment' is desired..... but hope rings eternal and sleep can renew every dream..... the spirit of it all came through very loud and clear Tony. An unforgettable piece from the pen of a true wordsmith.
