A simply complicated request requested wonderfully by your work, Sven Pen. I love this.  Sometimes the heart needs the solace of solitude and silence. |

Oh....to just simply "be" Could that totally "Be"? I guess at times, it could be a mystery...  Wonderful Sven and reaches right to the heart..  Thank you ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

How did I almost miss this fantastic piece? The way you wrote this is masterful to say the least. Yet, only what one comes to expect from the GR8 Voice of the Northlands Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

Wonderful Sven.I can relate to this very much. Sometimes we need nothing more than for someone to be..be there..be ours...just be. Love it Sven. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
