Sweet Solveig Elin Purple strands of color Turning letters into words Mind reviewing every picture A song in each word heard Dark light fills my window Casting shadows on the screen A void grows in my lonely heart Eyes look to where you’ve been Simple poems of longing Reflecting deep, hidden fears Entreaty drifting with the stars Hope ringing loud and clear It’s as if time stands still The sweet night song has no tune My eyes drift to that empty place Warm light has dimmed to gloom But hope springs eternal I tap into what I know Behind the black the sun still shines It’s not your time to go So, sweet Solveig Elin, Hurry back to those who care Lift your face to feel the sunshine Ride on the summer air Kisses drift to your cheeks You will never be alone Hurry back to those who love you Our strength will keep you strong Sweet Solveig Elin You are the beauty in our day.

"But hope springs eternal I tap into what I know Behind the black the sun still shines It’s not your time to go" I especially like this part...  |

a pleasant ‘write’! I am particularly fond of: “Lift your face to feel the sunshine Ride on the summer air” AND: “Simple poems of longing Reflecting deep, hidden fears Entreaty drifting with the stars Hope ringing loud and clear” Applause! |

Thank you all - your replies touch me. This poem was for my friend who had brain surgury last Friday. She is coming along well in terms of recovery - I wanted you to meet her. A |

ah...thank you Alison. I confess I couldn't conceive the specifics, but your love and care came through with the quiet urgency of a prayer. Thanks for the poem and the explanation. (Sometimes I need an explanation.) May your friend recover quickly.  |

What a heartfelt poem Alison, I really enjoyed reading this. "Well I wish that you would cheat with someone, 'cause you're like diggin' holes in water and we know that can't be done." |
