and yet, there is still

still the unused phrase of life
bound in pages unread by eyes yet unseen
spoken by voices unknown to ears yet unheard
written in lemon, invisible to cold
waiting to be revealed by the flame

and still, there is yet

yet the unread book of being
placed on shelf undone by hands still untouched
felt by souls unborn in feelings still unexpressed
conveyed in gestures, cloaked by darkness
ready to be reborn in the heart

and yet, still is there

there the unthought land of creation
framed in glass uncolored by artists yet undying
covered in light uncast on walls yet unbuilt
constructed in dreams, planned in stages
needing to be remade by the hand

there is still yet, and

and the untold stories of eternity
they bring now unwritten with pens still unfilled
streaming as lines unthought to minds still unclosed
divined into wisdom, dispelled to humanity
seeking to be relit by the stars

And so my friend...I have been sitting here for the past half hour
pondering the word still.
YOU my friend on the other side of the border..
are one fantastic writer, because...
you get my brain cells working overtime.

(smiles) You truly are the king of contemplative poetry, sweet friend, I believe that still is an adjective that is often taken for granted and rather a hallmark to the joys of life, for if ones heart is still, we are truly satisfied and nothing else can achieve that level! (big hugggssssss) May we all succeed in the search for still, sweet friend, this is excellent, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sven, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I would like to unthank all of you for your unwords of unencouragement. . .

"contemplative. . ." now, there's a word that I wonder about all the time. . .

thank you all again. . . my look inward is continuing. . . keep following. . . I have a feeling it's going to get good from here on out. . .

lovely work as usual, Sven.

Sorry I haven't replied to this one yet.

I will not bend to the cowardice of a silent judgement.

Sven, it never ceases to amaze me as to what comes first to you; the thought of the poem, or the format in which it is placed...as always, a most splendid job...

John, I am a big fan of yours but, Man, each and every time you write something, it stands brighter then the one before and so I run out of words trying to tell you how AWESOME your poems are! Just wonderful, John.

I don't come in here often but I'm glad I did. This piece is superb. Bravo.

Keeper is an understatement. What a piece! Not only the story of what is to come you brought to our yet unaware minds, but also the style and way in which it was written. The connecting, evolving phrases were intriguing. A superb write, Sven.

Sincerely,
Titus

As I'm out there, walking, searching, for myself, for you.... won't you join me? Let's walk this journey together.
