*revised repost from Open 6* When I’ve been tossed about On life's tumultuous sea There's one place I can't do without One place I can be free When no wind fills my sails And the oarsmen grow weary There’s one place that cures my ails A place where days aren't dreary When the journey is done And I seek a place to rest There’s one place by the sun A place far off in the west This place is known by few No map tells of its charms It's the place I always sail to The harbor of your arms ----------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

What a cool title and metaphor, SVEN! That would make for a great song... -MVS "When you tell the Truth, you never have to remember what you just said." |

Oh this has such a wondrously fine title! It could be very spiritual in nature, though I do think you mean your flesh and blood loved one. Very fine, tender piece, Sven! |

Interloper, it's a place I hope that all of us will find someday. . .thank you. . . Enchanted Melody, thank you for enjoying it again for the first time. . .  VAS, I do mean the physical, but it could also be very well applied to the spiritual. . . thank you. . . Sandra, yes it is. . .hopefully, we all will. . . ------------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

  This is the first time that I have seen this, and boy oh boy, it's so beautiful; the imagery, flow, sentiment and imagery are divine. Gosh, I love your love poetry. Stop making me so swoony, will ya?!  And of course, it's going into my library (which contains many of your poems)~ Melissa~ |

Sven, What a vision of how we all want love to be, and to harbor us in its glory. You have captured all the longing and beauty here, and have taken me to another place that I dream to dwell in. Beautiful.... Love, Elise |
