the time has come traveling heart time to come to home to the arms of one who has always loved you you have sought long and hard for love as he has walking with each other along the way hand in hand in spirit asking each other for directions trying to make it not so obvious that deep inside, you wanted your roads to lead to each other so, you would point out the detours and make sure that you would see all the signs the stops, the mile markers but strangely enough, never the exits. . . at least, not the ones you wanted each other to see sometimes, it seemed that you were traveling in opposite directions but you always managed to find one another and always when one or both of you were stuck on the side of the road but now, traveling heart the time has come for me to finally show you the map that I've been trying to hide the ramp is completed now the sign finally positioned next exit:HOME ----------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Just hitting the exit ramp now!! This is a beautiful often told story of love that is meant to be. Usually it's bigger than those involved, they even fight it, but when it's meant to be - it will be...Beautiful Sven as always, Isis *War produces one thing - Cemetaries.

Welcome home travelling heart! Take the exit that says "Love" Good work Sven! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |
