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 --------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

(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 "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

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. . . ------------------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person.

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... |

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. |
