In my heart there dwells a light One that has been hidden from my sight Hidden by hate and devoid of love Waiting for that angel, sent from above She came to me as if out of a dream Pierced through the darkness with her love's beam Showed me the things I'd lost for so long Gave me back my voice, to sing with her our song The alarm shrieked its hollow, lonely wail Waking me from my sleep, lonely and pale When I looked around, things were still the same But I swear in the distance, I heard her call my name. ------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sven....hauntingly beautiful poem. You say a lot in a little space. Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

Everyone else has pretty well summed it up. This is very, very good. The last line leaves me with the impression that, although the dreamer believes it to be, maybe this wasn't a dream afterall. |

Sven, What a wonderful dream, but you know, dreams do come true. Hope this one does for you. This is beautiful. Sheila ...the earth and myself are of one mind. The measure of the land and the measure of our bodies are the same........... Joseph, Nez Perce Chief |

Dreams are weird, sometimes you wake up and can't remember if it was true or not! Good poem ~X~ |

Great Poem Sven, I really enjoyed reading it. The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship." --Ralph Waldo Emerson |
