today,

I'm feeling. . .

                                                  
                 fragile

not like the porcelain doll

                                        or the glass vase

but, like something

                                that's balanced

between


here
                                                  
                                                  
                                                  
                                                  
                                                  
                                                  
                                                  
                                                    
                                                  
                                                  
and eternity

Excellent....

I relate to this well....those days when you
just feel sort of in a spot...not sure which
way to head...hesitant...

Thanx Sven...

Relate much, today...though the balance is wavering.

BRAVO!!! This is wonderful, sweet friend, I too think this kind of feeling can relate on many levels, such as in rites of passage or destiny or just one wants to do on an ordinary day! (sigh) This flows so gracefully down the page, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sven, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

I like the tipping back and forth of the verse. Good structure and rhythm.

I love this Sven~

it really gives thoughts to ponder.....Well done Sir....hugsss


Lauren~

I would rather have one breath of his hair,
one kiss of his mouth,
one touch of his hand
than an eternity without it.

That is a tightrope
many of us have walked...

tightrope made
of razors

man stands
made of glass;
twists
turns
falls;
or does he?

wind sways
against motion
refuting the logic
of death
with life.
