and yet, the glass crystal clear sits on the table containing the liquid pondered by eyes used to seeing something on the other side seeing now only the liquid half this half that but yet, still contained and yet, the glass framed overlooks the park offering the view pondered by eyes that should have looked back as they walked by seeing now only the brick red here white here but yet, still framed and yet, the glass stained glistens in the moonlight telling the story pondered by eyes that fill now with the liquid contents seeing now only the glass multi- here -colored there but yet, still the glass -------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

(big hugggsssssss) Oh my gosh, you just gace this axiom of "Is the glass half-empty or half-full?" a whole new way of looking at it, sweet friend, this is excellent! (smiles) I think another big part of nunderstanding it is to see if color reflects off the glass, if you see the robin-egg blue sky or grayness, if it is rocking or if the water is still! (smiles) This is outstanding, sweet friend, we all love you so much, BRAVO!!! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sven, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

AD darling boy this is without doubt one of your utter best, the flow of this couldn’t be bettered. This is such a visual poem such as you excel at writing no one does these so well As I’ve mentioned before darling boy you are a poet. This is sooooooo true and real, it touches deep into me today. What can I say except this is utterly wonderful. Who could find a flaw with this its utterly perfect Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

Okay..maybe I'm just in a stupid mood tonight, but I don't think I'm getting this. While I don't doubt that its brilliant, and I don't doubt for a moment that you still are THE Sven Pen...I just don't understand this! ingdeeply For all who watch.Dare you say hello? Come in and ask the questions that are on your mind, but spare me your judgement until you truly sipped of me. |
