The End, Chapter III [inspired by Sven] It is today swirling around me I touch all things all things touch me everyone has a twin where is mine… out there somewhere there, on the other plane Does she look at herself and think of me? What does her heart see? Are we a repeat of history? Have I done things not yet imagined? Did I impact your life? Am I but a dream? Is there an opening to this plane one to step through knowledgably? And if I touched it would it shimmer? Am I a better person on the other side? Am I despised there? Do I cry? It was there, on another plane in another life in someone else’s dream somewhere amid star shine and moon’s beam today I wonder when all things foreign seem right deep in night’s night in the absence of light today, I will wonder of me there, on the other plane…in the real reality… there, go I. 27 June 2000 ©Karilea Rilling Jungel Sunny ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.

Just wonderful Sunny!! All of it. . .just an amazing story. . . And it actually brings up another part of "Past Lives". . .is there a twin for all of us? Someone who is not related to us, but who is like us in almost every way?? And not just in appearance, but in spirit? In other words, a SPIRITUAL twin??? Did we go through experiences with them? Wow, too much to ask. . . will go to Feelings with it. . . Again Sunny, these were just amazing poems. . . and I am glad to have inspired such thought in you. . . 'tis a fascinating subject that you talk about here. . . the journey continues. . . ------------------------------------------------------ That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Karilea, The end is often only the beginning... I watched, from a faraway watchtower, gladiators fighting in a distanced arena I heard, sounds loud and screams wild, of passionate anticipating spectators each shouting, encouraging their own bet... Suddenly, the referee surprised all, announced "STOP! Time for recess, for its time to let the sun lend its serene light to the warriors... It was the moment of quietude, A moment for sanity of souls. I heard, a soothing voice descending from the heavens the skies spoke, poetic words, three verses dubbed it the beginning, the middle and the end What followed, was a captivated audience with ears tuned to the most beautiful poetry that they could have ever imagine What followed, then at the end of it all was a beginning of a sustained applause, delirious cheer, from a wild crowd, enraptured by divine sunshine It was the moment of appeasement, A moment for apreciation of art. I watched, from the faraway watchtower, all I heard was WOWs and Hurrahs all I understood was Claps Claps Claps I still watch from the faraway watchtower only this time I join I join in the crowd's applause For I have become the crowd, I have become the enraptured audience... HURRAHS to Karilea, the sunshine of our hearts.... HURRAHS Regards, Sudhir [This message has been edited by Sudhir Iyer (edited 07-08-2000).] |

Sudhir, the most beautiful compliment I have ever received... I will never be able to thank you, nor Sven, for helping me ... it is indeed a tribute to all poets who share...
