it's what is in his words
that grabs you first
you can see the love
that's there on the page
and you know that
a heart can indeed
step out of the dark
and walk into the light

it's what is in his mind
that makes you feel
you can feel the love
that's coming from his soul
and you know that
a soul can indeed
find a love to keep
and share with the world

it's what is in his heart
that takes you there
you can know the love
that's shining like a light
and you know that
a being can indeed
have a love so deep
and hold it with care

so you see
it's not what is in his words
it's not what is in his mind
it's what's in his hMeIaNrAt

and when you see what's in
his heart,
then you'll know who
he really is
and then you'll know
his love for her

Sir Sven,
methinks thou must be a peasant seer for thou hast portrayed to an inch the character of the the love thou hast seen and thou hast honestly reflected that in thy art.
Be well

Sven, you've such an interesting penchant for poetic portraiture. This poem about James is wonderful, and though I don't know him as well as all of you do, he certainly seems like a treasure. So nice!
