she steps onto the stage the lights are bright all she can really see are the critics in the front row nervously, she begins and there they sit in judgement and the tears begin to fall but as things come into focus she begins to see the rest of the theatre and she sees them. . . friends, family, everywhere there they are, hanging on her every word sending her warmth and love and so, she continues as she does, the words come stronger her voice grows louder and she finishes with a flourish they begin to applaud the flowers fill the stage and she bows to accept their thanks she doesn't know what the critics said if they loved or hated her matters not in the end all she knows is that now she will be heard and that this reluctant voice will sing until the end of time -------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Beautiful poem-portrait of a fine poet. I think she'll love this muchly. Nicely done. Poeminister "...no single sound too rude upon thy slumber shall intrude, Our thoughts, our souls- O God above! In every deed shall mingle, love." -Poe |

This fits then, the Lady of Passions, Ms. PoetdeVine... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Thank you Sven for your kindness in this poem. I think 'reluctant' is mild compared to how I really feel. Again, thank you for including me in your Gallery of Poets (I hope you do one for yourself too!!!)  |

you have captured her essence well here Sven ... there has always been a certain reserve about her ... like a well kept secret. And I hope she doesnt mind me giving her a "plug" .. but for those new here and those like me who dont often have the time to hit all the many forums here... Poet D has some superb examples of her work in the Prose forum... her gift for writing in prose is one of her secrets as well another wonderful portrait Sven jm |

Just like that movie. . . thank you. . .deVine, thank you my friend. . . glad that you liked it. . . I would say that you're not that "reluctant" any more. . . you're a wonderful poet and friend and it wouldn't be Passions without you. . . ------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Beautiful Sven ... you are building such a wonderful Gallery, and it surely would not be complete without this lovely poet, editor, friend, and champion of the Forums ... her tireless efforts keep the Passion flowing within these wonderful walls. Loved this, and love you Sharon! Best wishes, /Kit |
