I wrote this in French. . . I don't really know why. . . I have included my original in French and an English translation. . . you should also know that I speak very little French, but it just seemed right for this poem. . .

Sven

Parfois, il est difficile de dormir,
particulieremnet quand vous n'etes pas la.
Je pourrais avoir un reve de vous
mais la douleur
peut etre beaucoup plus que je puis soutenir.

Anisi, je retourne et regarde votre cote du lit.
Je vois votre impression dans le matelas
que je puis commencer pour faire dheors votre societe
et je commerce
a sentir votre caresse douce.

Et puis, vous etes la ave moi
votre sourire chauffant mon coeur tellement maintenant
je reve avec vous
et je sais que nous
ne separerons jamis.

DREAMING WITH YOU

Sometimes, it's hard to sleep
Especially when you're not there
I could have a dream of you
But the pain
can be more than I can bear.

So, I turn over and look at your side of the bed.
I see your imprint in the mattress
I can begin to make out your form
And I begin
to feel your soft caress.

And then, you're there with me,
Your smile warms my heart
So now, I'm dreaming with you
And I know
that we'll never part.

Sven I know this feeling well...and so nice to read it in French and fortunately in English as well because I can read French but only understand about half of what I read...James

Sven,
What a multi-talented person you are, what a multi-layered poem this is.
Be well

but it is the loss that shapes the image,
gathers the flowers weaves the garland."-
