Kyrie eleison
         here I am
                   walking
looking not to find what wasn't lost
     but to find what someone else left
             (the sign that said)
but, I need someting from you first
        I need to be made into something
               I need to be light
to be made into light
                          made into that beam that pierces the stars
                                                                 and carries the word
              this is what I need now
I can only get it from you
                            (since we're so much alike, it should be easy)
not as a gift, but as part of who I am
         a part that I need you to unlock for me
                 to unlock and show me so that I might use it here, walking
so that I can be meant
       so that I can be understood
              so that I can speak (deciding to hear)
Christe eleison
I did not become
                  I became
I became what I was to become
and I become what I became
             finding that both and neither were
                                                I stopped
                        and found myself
one and the same
twin souls of time
both beings of light and dark
two sides of myself
           and three sides of me
I am, I was
              cleansed and cloaked in purity
              waiting for the words to begin
                              knowing where to go
                              and what to say
when to be
            and when not to be
                                I was
                                I am
being myself in the warmth of hindsight
      in the hindsight of the soul
            lookig back to where I was to go
Kyrie eleison
make me
        again, make me
                        into what I was (to be)
find me before (again) and take me after
          after the way of yourself
          and toward the way of us
                being and becoming beyond ourselves
finding and feeling the light that reserves
                        the light that reveals
                            the light that resounds
and when the light meets the dark
                  I find myself
                                (I find myself)
                      and we begin

apart

(smiles) Wow!!! Oh my gosh, I just love how this poem continues to contrast itself and winds like a snake between becoming and what you've became, truly when you feel you've become something, you have yet to became as you continue to peel away the layers like onions! (big hugggssssss) I love this, sweet friend, God Bless You, 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,
Noah Eaton

This puts me at ease, Sven Pen.
I miss your writing around here, and this needs to be read.

a duet done with passion"
