I know it's a little late. . . but, this one's for Lyra. . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ gather now across the shore a cantor of loon begin the song a melismatic thread that weaves together the stories and experiences of being into a final tapestry of life the colors that speak the phrases red for anger blue for calm white for pure black for mourning told in a language as old as time itself the trees bow to hear as the breeze takes up, in counterpoint, the harmonies of other lives (those that remain and those that have gone before) showing them here in this skyed synagogue candled with stars taking them in our hands we begin to hear the song of her stars the moon glimmers the lake with its shine and we realize that while we mourn the loss of her body we rejoice in the finding of her being ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. [This message has been edited by Sven (05-15-2003 12:54 PM).] |

You, your heart, and your writing are all beautiful things, Sven. I haven't been able to write anything about the losses we have had here at Passions. This should be read. I'm sure a lot of people will appreciate it.You could hurt me with your bare hands. You could hurt me using the sharp edge of what you say. JEWEL |
