she reminds us of a quieter time a time when Lords and Ladies ruled the land when Poets and Minstrels sang songs of love and Knights and Damsels lived and loved forever her words are quiet and genteel her rhymes soft and tender her verses touch our heart the land that she takes us to is not one of her own creation it exists in all of us she is merely our guide we knock at the door and she answers showing us the way she smiles, and the world is a brighter place she laughs, and we feel her happiness in us she sighs, and we share her contentedness and we are at peace --------------------------------------------------------------------- < !signature--> That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 11-21-2000).] |

Oh my. Oh dear. Sven, what have you done, my friend? I am so moved by this gesture. I had no idea when I clicked on the link in my e'mail that THIS is what I was to find. My friends, I am quite speechless at the moment, a few tears, so very moved. What a lovely, lovely poem, Sven. And what sweet and sincere responses. Please forgive my lack of eloquence, I am just so touched. Thank you, Sven. Thank you all. I will share with you all something I reecently wrote. Much thanks to M.A. Miller for the image design. The painting is "Memory" by Elihu Vedder. Hope you enjoy it. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

I didn't realize that editing can only be done within 24 hours of the original post, Sven, so I couldn't edit my previous message, but here is what I wanted to share with you. ~ Claire To see the haunting painting by Elihu Vedder that inspired this poem, please go HERE. UntitledIn the moments of receding from the memory of this life I will believe that the tears dissolved and breaths I've drawn were meant as only fog so do not grieve. And I will look upon the theatre of the sea in anguished awe, in hushed aware, its vastness fully brought to only me and I am there, I am there. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Sven, This is a wonderful tribute to a great and dear friend and captures so well what she is to all who know her. You've done well, my friend. Michael Proust- "Love is space and time measured by the heart" |
