he walks
it is the only way
any other way would not be
it is the way that he has chosen

he seeks
he has given his life
to find the answers of the soul
it is the way that is before him

he works
trying, trying, again
working to find the solution
it is the way that he will learn

he finds
finds the words now
they come to him as a fountain
telling the stories of a lifetime

this is the way
the way of his life
the way of the wizard
it is a lonely way
but for him,
             it is the only way

I smiled when I read this title, as many times i have thought of him as our Great and Mighty Oz...the wizard behind the curtain of passions working the controls that keep this mothership of poetry in flight ...
all seeing, all knowing ...
granting us our wishes and dreams...by allowing us to share our poetry.
Excellent tribute to our so very cool host and creator.
well done Sven, once again.

This angel, this woman ,
who loves me with the innocence of a child.

Excellent Sven! Indeed, there would no Passions at all, without the wizard whose tireless devotion both created and maintains this beautiful haven.  His talent, generosity and wisdom permeates these walls we call "home" ...

Wonderful Sven, and so many heartfelt thanks to Ron for who you are, and all you do!

"There's no place like home ..."

Best wishes,
/Kit

Page four???

That just won't do for this beautiful tribute! Ron is the heart and soul of Passions, and only a poet like you could ever do him justice. Up to the top it goes!!!

Sven,

He is indeed the one and only Wizard.  Well done.

When I look up "Passion" in my Dictionaurus, Ron's picture is right there beside it... Because Ron and Passions are truly synonymous - I think there's little doubt of that in anyone's mind...

You've done Ron an honor here, Sven.  He's everything you say indeed - all of it - tempered with an astounding sense of humility ... and the curtain??... That's actually a shroud of the frozen tundra... storm upon storm upon storm... holding fast against the outside of his door...

Let me tell you one more thing about him, though... Don't EVER, EVER, EVER challenge him to a game of chess - He'll ever so humbly whip yer butt!!!...
