His underlying instinct Cuts twixt marrow and the quick shows heart of great compassion with words that are not slick His ability to care much Reveals a heart so pure In his eyes, soul's mirror Truth compels and is the lure He sees the deepest meaning In the hearts of men Takes the words begins to write Reflects us back again His style and grace are growing As is his library In his eyes our beauty showing Shared with you and me His gentle heart is open A man among all men I gift this poem in token Of thanks for truth, Sir Sven.

Good poem Kethry!! Sven is really doing a class job in his affectionate reflections of fellow poets here and even though I'm still just getting to know some of them I can feel the respect he has in his words... gosh darn nice of you to write this Kethry... ethome |

This is great. I believe Sven has not been entirely recognized for his compassion and appreciation of us, but he's sure shown us hasn't he? I loved this! What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life. Walt Whitman |

Thank you again Kethry. . . I'm really touched that you would do this for me. . . I love it. . . thank you. . .  -------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

"He sees the deepest meaning In the hearts of men Takes the words begins to write Reflects us back again" Oh Kethrey ... what a beautiful tribute to the gentle man who's sharing such wonderful work through his gallery. This is just lovely, very nicely written, and so deserving!  Best wishes, /Kit |

Kethry, This is utterly wonderful work, if I'm the applause section then Sven is the mirror, which reflects the beauty back. His work is amazing and he has a brilliant turn of phrase. And Kethry you have mirrored him perfectly. You have shown the man of love as accurately as if you had taken a snapshot. Love this one, I truly do.

If I could penn Sir Sven the pleasure would be mine The kindest face in all the land since the early beginning of time His art is giving to others that which he needs so substitutions for the glories given returns fullfilling his soul He asks nothing in return for giving acceptance is a must who could deny this man love? reading, within the written of his words A man of taste and compassion true love resides within his heart caring for all others comes natural as mother earth; Sir Sven, we friends call him his nights reign within his words recalling his every kindess sharing his feelings in words. |
