in her hands,
the power of life
in her words,
the power of light
in her heart,
the power of fate

by the light of the moon
she calls forth the
power of the light
filling her very being
she shines
and we see her as she is
a being of life
a sister of the light
inspiring others
opening her heart

she speaks the words:

"power of life and of the light
grant to me, thy servant, this night
the gift of thy second sight
which is mine by goddess' right"


in her eyes,
the story of life
in her mouth,
the song of life
in her soul. . .
                  . . . life. . .

Sven~

And Serenity glows ...
because she knows
she lights the candle
that others need so

She gives up the night
in endless flight
of thoughts to dance
upon our souls
knowing - knowing

*Your gallery is a wonder to behold, sir.

You've got to put that crystal ball away...you're really looking into everyone's soul way too well...

Sven if we could find someone to look into a poets heart and soul and then create beautiful words describing what he could so clearly see I would want to share that beauty with him...we have, his name is Sven, and he has looked into many hearts to share what he see's, and I thank you Sven for that...James

A wonderful piece for a wonderful person.  Well done.  You have painted her beautifully.
