*Gallery Reading Room*



light of life
light of heart
in my hands
of work of art

made by me
just for you
gift of love
from heart so true

make it shine
just so bright
jewel to set
in sky of night

in my hands
I now hold
star of love
a gift of gold

shine on star
work of art
of my hands
and from my heart

Sven,
A gift of love indeed, and to me light at the end of a tunnel.

This is very cool, Sven!     Passions in Poetry Gallery... this actually made me picture some big museum where there are displays for each of the poets in the Gallery, and this poem is posted at the entrance or something.  
Boy that would be neat to make an actual place for all of this.     We poets need this kind of publicity!

Thank you all my friends for your wonderful replies. . .

Allan, you've got the right idea about the Gallery being a "place" where the poems about the poets hang like "portraits" of them. . . the "Reading Room" poems are designed to give the Gallery a little variety. . . to give you something else to look at besides "portraits". . . they're like little breaks along the way. . .

I hope you're saving up to purchase a museum for this, Sven.  As I said, we could definitely all use the publicity.
