In my short time here at Passions I have made many friends.  But the one person that I have grown closest to is Isis.  This poem is for her, she and I have found that we are indeed kindred spirits and we share many things.  Thank you Isis, for all that you have done for my life and I hope that we will be able to spend many years together as kindred spirts and kindred hearts.

In the mirror of my heart I can see
The heart of a woman who means so much to me
The heart of my kindred
Teacher of song
She has fed the pool of my imagination
Stagnant for so long.

In the mirror of her heart she can see
The heart of a man come to set her free
The heart of an angel
Knower of roads
He has shown her the light at the end of the tunnel
And helped carry the load.

In the mirror of our hearts we can see
Kindred hearts, bound together she and me
Two hearts bound by words
Poets of dark, poets of light
We will fill our lives with song
And share with you what we've heard.


 That which gives light must endure burning
--Victor Frankl

Sven,
What a beautiful tribute to Isis!  She indeed deserves such a honoring poem, for all she contributes to Passions.

Well Done, enjoyed this verse much.
