In a quiet place away from the world With his words she finds herself curled And gets herself lost in the wonder of those words They are to her, amongst the sweetest she has heard With every line he speaks to her heart She compares them to her favorite works of art Every stanza remains deep inside her soul Filling her with warmth, making her whole And when her heart is healed, her soul renewed She looks back at the words that she has viewed And sees before her, that in each and every line His love for her does indeed truly shine. -------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Aah there are many quiet places for the soul to rekindle it's light. Why does this sound familiar? LOL As usual Sven beautifully and sensitively penned as only you can do! *Friendship is a horizon - which expands whenever we approach it...* ~Isis~Goddess~~Sovereign of the Spirit~ |

Sven, Very nice writing my friend. It will always shine, I bet. No, I know it will. Wonderful and beautiful work. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Sven, we should all have that quiet place in which to curl up with the words and thoughts of the one we love. I believe this to be one of the prettiest poems you've shared here, my friend. Just beautiful...I'm looking for my quiet place. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Oh Seven, this touched me deeply, as I have found this special place and love. I wrote about it once, "Hold me Lord". Thank you for this one. Bless you much today as your heart and beautiful words in poetry continue to shine. Love, Marcy |

~~~Sven~~~ To find a place like this of total happiness and love....it is a dream that many share.... I am searching for a place to call my own a secret place where I can roam drifting far away from my home a place of peaceful fairytales like marrying a king a place where I can soar high on a white dove's wing for now I will be content to continue on my search and after all my dollars are spent my place will be there... waiting... for me... You've inspired me...great post I loved it!! Julie :) |

this is very comforting, like a pasture where we find rest in our words and the words of others. Kathleen |

Sven, you have done it yet again. I find that love is sometimes the hardest of emotions to convey properly in writing. It's the little things that display it so well. When you look back at the words, you can see the love within. Beautiful. Trev. |

Sven, this piece is so gentle and soothing, so poetic. Words fail me. Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |
