I hold the book in my hands
the leather cover almost speaks
its name under the touch of
my fingers. . .
Mysteria de Vida
          Mystery of Life

I open the book
expecting to find the answers
that I have sought for
so long
but instead
I only find these four words
Love
          Happiness
                           Sorrow
                                       Hope


and I wonder
if instead of finding
the answers. . .
have I found
the questions?

She's one fine poet that's for sure, thanks for the tribute to her, she deserves it!

Ah yes...you've done it again....she finds the questions in all the answers, and she does not hesitate to speak them loud!

Here I am peeking around the corner saying hello, and thank you so much for this Sven.  I am so new here and have been so well accepted and befriended.  I thank you so much for putting me into Sven's Hall of Fame, with the best of them, I am truly honored, and appreciate your recognition of what I am trying to say to whomever is listening.  Mauh!
