quietly he pens the songs of his heart
and quietly we read
                     marvelling at his art
softly the tales come from his pen
and we hear his songs
                     and ask him to sing again

he puts pen to paper and shares his soul
and with every word
                     our hearts are made whole
for now, he is here, no need to "phone home"
with the friends he's made here
                     he'll never be alone

Sven,

Perfect.  That is indeed our ethome . . . all heart and soul.

Another wonderful tribute to join so many others Sven, very nicely penned. Ethome is so caring, giving and genuine, sharing so much of his heart and soul ... what a perfectly lovely verse to honour him!  

Best wishes,
/Kit

Ethome has indeed shared many things in many ways...and gives inspiration and aspiration to all here...TGFE...here, in passion's blue pages...

yes..EXACTLY....he pens poetic songs of love and life...
his poetry has the constance of melody running thru them ...
and his replys to our work shows his love for poetry and endears him to us.
I am proud to say he has become a VAN-tastic friend of mine.
Perfect tribute to one of our favs.
Thanks E-babes...for all the songs and for the friendship.
thanks to Sven for giving us a place to say how we feel about our fellow poets

The words and music came through
But words and music can never touch the beauty that I've seen
Looking into you
