right now, I
am the words

as you read them
they have been written
as they have been written
you are reading them

these words that are
flowing across the page
in lines old and new
telling of feelings and
emotions old and new

these are who I am
right now
for this moment in time

when the words are done
that is when I am done
for I am only the poem
while the poem is being
written

when the poem is read
I am it no longer

you are

Ah...Words...the person they draw in or out

Such an interesting thought-provoking and deep write.

I'm enjoying this contemplative tendency in your poems lately..

Thank you

(big hugggssssss) Awwwwwww, this is sooooooo wonderfully said, sweet friend, I always find it magical how our words can be shared to others and how they can speak so dearly with us and have us feeling as if we are you! (sigh) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is excellent! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sven, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

What a clever and profound write!  Gawd, I love this; your writing always make me think and sigh in it's power.
Your muse is talented, indeed...and what I wanna know is...will Sven ever let me borrow his pen? hehe

This is definately a keeper!

Take care,
