The Curator Creator of the Gallery, the one who holds the key Painting portraits of the friends of passion’s poetry Penning out the sentiments of poets tenderly He lifts a poem off the page, uncovering his find Exposing all the beauty in the heart and in the mind And essence of a poet who has left his mark behind He lifts the shroud of secrecy in which the eye’s encased So delicately he etches, the features of the face The lines of life, the lips that speak, the heart he will embrace We stand and gaze at the portraits hung upon the wall The verses from a pen of gold that captivate us all The Gallery of Poets, which is looked upon in awe Another portrait finished, another poet friend Another face is written by the brilliant eye of Sven Engraved in Passions archives to be looked upon again Thank you, dear heart Liz [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 11-13-2000).] |

We stand and gaze at the portraits hung upon the wall The verses from a pen of gold that captivate us all The Gallery of Poets, which is looked upon in awe Another portrait finished, another poet friend Another face is written by the brilliant eye of Sven Engraved in Passions archives to be looked upon again =============== perfect Lizzie ... an appropriate and true tribute to the Passions poet artist. his Gallery of Poets idea is very cool and creative. I'm glad to see a fellow poet returned him the verse well done dear poet jm |

Liz, thank you so much for this. . . I'm honored and moved. . . I'm amazed that the Gallery has been so well liked. . . I wanted to say thank you to those people and poets that have inspired me over this time, and to Passions as a whole for what it's done for me, the Gallery just came to me. . . and, as in your poem, I'm just "The Curator". . . the real portraits are in the words that all of you write. . . from your hearts, and from your souls. . . Thank you again my friend. . . ------------------------------------------------------------ That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

and it is amazing how he accomplishes this through only "virtual knowing..." well done, Lady Santos... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
