*for Aimster*

the time has come once again quiet heart
to gather in your heart and hold it close to you
it offered its gift of love
     asking nothing in return
          and received back to itself
               a love for a lifetime

but now quiet heart, you hold in your hands once again
the candle of your inspiration
its flame having been blown out by the winds of time
and now, you walk the streets of experience
lost,
     and looking for one who can hold it again with you

go now gently quiet heart
seek the flame that will guide you
     on your way
the flame that will warm your
     coldest nights
but be not surprised quiet heart
                     if that flame burns again quickly
               not because of another's light

                                             but because of yours. . .

Sven - first I must take a deep breath, and then say bravo. A most beautiful writing, and it came through when I read it.
