know in vanity see the clouds wrap themselves in blankets lest they show us too much and lest we find ourselves actually paying attention feel in illusion watch the wind caress itself in hands lest it flow through us too softly and lest we find ourselves actually knowing the words read in time observe the trees reach out with us in branches lest the clouds and the winds miss us and lest we find ourselves actually in the ground hear in light wonder where the real sun shades itself from the cold lest it burn the heart of one too open and lest we find ourselves actually needing the moon ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

very good structure, each verse has its own standing, an active little work, but very quiet and still...and it all comes together as a whole. My My, very well done Sven! |

I love the flow and structure! This is a poem that asks to be read and reread as it provokes new thoughts and questions with each glance - and that, my friend, is a sign of some gosh darn good poetry! - Jeff |
