begin again
and find
that there's nothing
lost in the
translation
except for
a word
that really means
heart

a word that
starts a sentence
and ends
a paragraph
telling a story
of life
that all know
yet few
understand

a word that
has so many
meanings
corazon
and so many
roots
coeur
that it's
hard to know
when to speak it

so, begin again
and open up
your
heart to you
language dictionary
making sure
that you
never forget
to conjugate
the ever-popular
to be

Splendid...yes, certainly a most appropriate

every day--I begin again, sometimes? just because I don't know what else to do! and there's a kzillion other thoughts in my head regarding this and heart chakras and transformation of of muscle in to the striate sacred heart, but er...I babble now.

Enjoyed, Sven!

Enjoyed this Sven..
I shall sit and contemplate these thoughts
you have expressed so well
long into the evening.

Well, I liked it too!
There's a lot to be said with just that one word.

Nice to see a post from ya, MrIhaven'tpostedinafewdays! This is lovely and soft. Your writing will amaze me no matter what, because after traveling through it, at the end I get this voice in my head that goes "Oh". yanno..the one that makes the light come on somewhere?

hi gang. . .

this one is indeed different. . . I find that I'm wondering what gets lost in the translation sometimes. . . and, why it always seem to be the center. . . the heart. . . of whatever it is. . .

hope that I could make the light go on for all of you. . . thanks. . .
