View me again in shades of glitter                          remembering that we, quiet soul, are always
Thrown forward by the hand of life                          flying into air unseen by these hands
Floating and sparkling in brilliances                       twisting and turning in rainbow eddys
Occasionally constant and constantly occasional   with swirls of color and rays of life
Watch me settle over your mind and heart             I can touch even the darkest of hearts
Like that fine-flecked eversparkle dust                   and the grayest of lonely existences
So that, when you brush me away                        when you could never before be reached by me
One or two tiny motes of me will remain                to now share with you this same desire
To remind your heart of its inherent joy                  the desire to make the world more colorful
And to remind your life everalways                        with each stroke of the brush and the pen
                        Of the sparkle                            until our lives are the color of us


Note: The idea of this came to me while thinking of "quarter notes, half notes" and the like.  Take a sheet of regular paper, and fold it into quarters.  Then, write a poem on the first quarter.  Next, write a poem on the second quarter.  Put them together, and you've got a "half poem" made up of two "quarter poems".  You can even write on the next two quarters to make a "whole poem".  

Each poem functions on its own, and together.  Makes it kind of neat, don't you think?               Thanks.

Well, your brain works differently than mine, I'll say that.

Damn!

You've just left me completely in awe of this, and you're outgrowing your Sven Pen title!

This was awesome. I love the way your mind works.

How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so.

Gosh! This is so different-it works for you, but I don't think I could pull it off.

It's been a long time since I've been here. It's very refreshing to come back and find this. I got exactly what I was looking for- inspiration! Very cool, as always.
